At this moment, a powerful force suddenly surged from within its heart.
Feeling the electric energy coursing through its body, Pawmi was astonished.
But it quickly adapted to this power, leaping forward to stand in front of Mandibuzz, shielding Cubone behind it.
"Pawmot!" (Don't harm it!)
Seeing this weak Pokemon blocking its path, Mandibuzz screeched irritably.
Pawmi didn't back down an inch.
Seeing this, Mandibuzz spread its wings wide and launched a Sky Attack towards Pawmi.
Faced with this situation, Pawmi held fast to the answer it had found.
A dazzling Spark erupted from its body, and then it dashed towards Mandibuzz.
The two Pokemon collided fiercely in mid-air.
The aggressive Mandibuzz was ultimately defeated and fell to the ground.
It looked at the seemingly weak Pokemon with a face full of fear.
Just when Mandibuzz thought it was going to be finished off, it saw the Pokemon pulling out a handful of Berries from somewhere and piling them up in front of its face.
Pawmi: "Pawmot!" (Take them back and feed them to your children!)
Mandibuzz froze for a moment, then looked incredulously at the Pokemon before it.
After a moment of silence, it abandoned the hunt for Cubone, got up, and flew back to its nest with the Berries.
Watching Mandibuzz's departing figure, Pawmi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the mysterious voice sounded again: "It seems you have found your path."
"Pawmot?!" Pawmi looked around in surprise and doubt.
Yet, everything around it gradually faded away.
The voice continued: "Even if you lose everything and revert to being the weak Pawmi you were at the beginning, you still possess the courage to face strong foes and the kind heart to help them."
"I acknowledge your true self; steadfastly follow your path and find your own answers. I feel your conviction."
"You are truly a brave one. Come now, Pawmot, accept this King's Power, and from now on, use it well to help Pokemon in need!"
With these words, Pawmot emerged from the Illusion Realm and consciousness returned to reality.
It stared blankly at everything around.
Naoki's smile, Calyrex's majesty, the worry etched on its companions' faces...
"Looks like you've passed the trial." Naoki said softly.
"Pawmot..."
Pawmot buried its head in his arms, hugging Naoki tightly, crying sorrowfully.
Naoki, puzzled, asked: "What's going on?"
Pawmot wiped away its tears and said with grievance: "Pawmot." It thought it was all a dream...
It's not a dream, that's wonderful! Meeting Naoki is so wonderful!
Calyrex, smiling nearby, said: "It thought everything it went through with you was just a dream."
Naoki understood immediately.
He smiled and patted Pawmot on the head: "It's not a dream, how could it be a dream?"
Pawmot, recovering its emotions, awkwardly wiped its tears: "Pawmot."
Naoki gently patted its head and said: "You are amazing, you've passed Calyrex's trial. As far as I know, only two Pokemon have passed Calyrex's trial, and they have now become legends in a region."
Speaking of which, Zacian and Zamazenta are like your mentors, Pawmot!
Upon hearing this, Pawmot's eyes lit up, almost unable to believe it all, am I really this amazing?
Naoki smiled and said: "Alright, go ahead now, the coronation ceremony is next."
Pawmot nodded, its little face full of seriousness.
It landed before Calyrex, looking up at this majestic Pokemon.
Calyrex slightly bowed its head and met its gaze.
"Raise your hammer."
Pawmot held the small silver hammer in both hands and offered it before Calyrex.
Calyrex gazed solemnly at the hammer and then extended its right hand to cover it.
Immediately, a golden light burst from Calyrex's body and poured entirely into the hammer.
The small silver hammer was quickly dyed in a sacred and dignified golden hue, with noble King's patterns appearing upon it.
"Pawmot!"
Witnessing this scene, Pawmot gasped.
The next second, the golden light spread over its entire body.
Pawmot felt enveloped in a tide of scorching energy, golden light bursting forth from its body.
In the light, Pawmot's appearance rapidly transformed.
The golden energy automatically condensed into a King's Helmet atop its head, with metallic armor emerging on its body.
The armor connected in one piece with the red cloak tied behind Pawmot.
The mighty energy blew the cloak flapping in the wind, and Pawmot, wearing the golden King's Helmet, looked so majestic and awe-inspiring.
Holding the golden hammer tightly in its hand, an authoritative aura emanated from Pawmot, spreading outward.
Naoki and the fellow Pokemon watched this scene in shock.
Pawmot's King of Hammers form had been born!
