Walking Wake spoke while lowering its body, letting out a howl. Hikaru flipped over, riding on Walking Wake's back, while Petilil swayed its leaves and jumped onto the crest on Walking Wake's head.

Riding a mighty dragon, how majestic!

"Roar~"

Walking Wake carried Hikaru and Petilil, swiftly dashing through the Dream Forest. Before long, they arrived at a grassy area piled with various items—this was the dream world of the White Dragon.

This dream would not disappear and was even connected to the dreams of other Pokémon. As a result, Walking Wake treated it as a storage warehouse, temporarily placing the treasures it had scavenged from other dreams here before moving them to the Link Forest.

"Aw~"

Among the piled-up items were a large number of Pecha Berries. Hikaru squatted down and started rummaging through the supplies.

He first found some Pokémon materials among the heaps of berries, while Walking Wake pointed at certain objects with its claws—these were the treasures it claimed to have "picked up" from the dreams of other Pokémon:

[Uncommon Material: Ghostly Gold Chunk]

[Description: Originally regular gold ingested by a Cofagrigus, infused with ghostly energy. Apparently, Walking Wake forced it to spit the gold out—Cofagrigus was in extreme pain.]

Hikaru: "(._.)?"

[Uncommon Material: Spiral Tablet]

[Description: The spiral tablet embedded in the chest of a Baltoy. Walking Wake pried it off—Baltoy lost its dreams.]

Hikaru: ".(;°ロ°)?"

[Uncommon Material: Illusion Mane]

[Description: The fiery red mane of a Zoroark, capable of creating illusions. Walking Wake yanked it off—its owner is currently shocked about its dream ordeal, comforting Zoroark that it isn't bald.]

Hikaru: ".(′ロ`)?"

[Rare Material: Leader's Crest]

[Description: A fragment resembling a weathered blade, only carried by Bisharp that leads a group of Pawniard. Walking Wake broke it off and took it—Bisharp is now abandoned by its followers.]

Hikaru: "This is just..."

[Rare Material: Cobalion's Steel Horn (Tip)]

[Description: The yellow steel horn of the legendary Swordsman, Cobalion. After encountering Walking Wake in a dream, they engaged in battle, and Walking Wake bit off its horn with Fire Fang—Cobalion is now extremely enraged!]

Hikaru: "This is getting out of hand!"

Walking Wake had rampaged through the dream world, causing havoc across Unova. Just how many Pokémon's dreams had it invaded? Even the dream of a Swordsman Pokémon?!

Cobalion, also known as the "Steel Ram," is indeed double-weak to Fire. It probably thought it had the upper hand upon seeing Walking Wake's Water/Dragon typing, only to be caught off guard by a Fire Fang, losing its horn in the process.

Fortunately, all of this happened in a dream. In reality, the affected Pokémon didn't suffer any actual harm—...except perhaps some mental trauma.

"Aw~" Walking Wake showed no sign of remorse for its actions. Instead, it proudly let out a roar, raising its head high, as if proclaiming that it had conquered vast territories for Hikaru!

These items were the most treasured possessions of those Pokémon in their dreams, yet they had all been "collected" by Walking Wake. How impressive was that?

"To be fair, that's actually quite impressive."

Hikaru had to admit that Walking Wake had a talent for plundering. Even Petilil was shocked to see so many unique Pokémon materials, bouncing in excitement.

Walking Wake's vanity was greatly satisfied. Lowering its head, it let out a soft growl to Petilil while nudging her, as if showing off in front of a friend.

If you ever need help, just call me. You may look weak, but I'm strong!

Walking Wake's low growl conveyed this message. It then enjoyed Petilil's admiring gaze, wagging its tail happily. Occasionally, it cast expectant glances at Hikaru, seemingly waiting for a second round of praise.

"Alright, alright! You win!"

That was the highest compliment between men!

"Aw!" Walking Wake's tail swayed even higher in excitement!

As Hikaru dug through the materials, he found something even more valuable.

[Uncommon Material: Grass Gem]

[Description 1: A gem infused with Grass-type energy. When held, it boosts the power of a single Grass-type move once. Beneficial for the growth of Grass-type Pokémon.]

[Description 2: Crystallized elemental energy formed naturally over time. Can also be cultivated artificially by creating specific environments to accelerate its formation.]

Besides the Grass Gem, there were also—

Dragon Gem, Electric Gem, and Psychic Gem!

If Hikaru could bring these out of the dream world, he would gain corresponding knowledge, just like when he took a fragment of Walking Wake's crest last time. This process was already familiar to him.

"These are Unova's specialty gems, usually found by digging in Dusty Ground. These are great finds!"

"Thank you, Walking Wake!"

This time, his gratitude was genuine.

Hikaru stroked the side of Walking Wake's face, causing it to purr with pride.

After all, nobody else wanted these shiny objects—it had simply "retrieved" them from dreams!

However, Hikaru recalled that a Dream Explorer could only take one item per trip. Given the abundance of gems, he decided to move them into his dream home first.

At the same time, he noticed the surrounding trees!

Since this was a dream forest, could the wood here be special?

Hikaru touched one of the trees and attempted to analyze it. Soon, information about the tree flooded his mind.

[Rare Material: Dreaming Tree (Little Forest)]

[Description: A unique tree that only exists in dream worlds. It can be cultivated within dreams and, through special carving techniques, can be turned into a mystical wooden carving. This carving can be used once to change the abilities of Grass, Bug, Poison, and Electric-type Pokémon, transforming them into rare abilities.]

Hikaru was astonished!

There were only two known items capable of changing Pokémon abilities: Ability Capsule, which switches a Pokémon's first ability to its second ability, and Ability Patch, which changes a common ability to a hidden ability.

In the Paldea region's item shops, Ability Patch was extremely expensive, costing 500,000 Pokédollars! And this was even after it had become widely available!

Although the Dream Carving could only affect four Pokémon types, it was still incredibly powerful. Hikaru couldn't imagine how valuable it would be if sold!

"Dream Explorers can only bring one item out—this tree it is!"

"Walking Wake, use Dragon Tail on the tree!"

Hikaru gave the order, and Walking Wake let out a roar, swinging its massive, whip-like tails, instantly felling a large tree!

Boom! The tree crashed down with a loud thud, and Walking Wake turned to Hikaru.

Should I transport this tree back?

"Yes, take this fallen tree back home!"

"Awrooo!"

Walking Wake spun around, coiling its powerful tail around the tree and lifting it with ease.

Hikaru opened his bag, storing away all the Pecha Berries and gems, then carried Petilil and directed Walking Wake across the Rainbow Bridge.

Thud! The mighty dragon arrived at the dream home, placing the felled Dreaming Tree in the open space in front of the small house.

[Acquired Craft: Dream World Wood Carving (B) – Allows carving statues in a dream world style. Requires Dreaming Tree wood to function. The carvings induce sleep and grant Pokémon rare abilities.]

As Hikaru touched the tree, the corresponding skill was acquired, and he breathed a sigh of relief before excitement took over again.

Looking at the modest dream house, Hikaru wondered how to transport the Light Stone's flames out of the dream.

Maybe he could chop more trees, turn them into charcoal, and take them out?

It seemed like he had a lot of construction work ahead.
