Chapter 351 Under the Ice Sheet
Looking at the elf in the photo that released destructive rays to shatter the ice, Lila's tone was a little unbelievable: "Is this... Rayquaza?"
"It looks a little like a green caterpillar." Zhou You commented.
Not to mention, Yashida really feels a bit like it.
But in fact, Zhou You feels that the coiled Rayquaza is more like some kind of particularly rude object. When he saw its coiled thumbnail in the Sky Pillar, he felt a little dirty at first... But in reality, seeing such a huge dragon-shaped creature will only feel domineering and shocking.
"Yes, this elf is Rayquaza. Look carefully, it is fighting with another elf in the photo."
Yashida pointed to a blurred afterimage in the photo and explained the origin of these photos to the two.
Two years ago, a meteorite broke through the atmosphere and landed at the poles, from which a phantom elf named Deoxys (meaning DNA) by scholars was born.
Deoxys found another meteorite with green crystals in the polar region. Just when it seemed to want to do something, Rayquaza, who thought its airspace was violated, rushed to the polar region and fought with it.
"The legendary battle between the ancient Pokémon and the creatures from outer space?" Lila said in surprise. This sounded too bizarre.
Even more bizarre was yet to come. Yashida nodded and described the battle in a tone that was almost like an eyewitness: "Rayquaza only used one destructive death ray from beginning to end. There was no need to charge, no backswing, and no need to fall into stiffness. The energy seemed endless. Each destructive ray seemed to be able to destroy an entire high-rise building."
Ordinary Pokémon would be stiff when they emitted destructive rays because they released energy that was difficult for the body to bear in a short period of time. However, an ultimate creature like Rayquaza would not be bothered at all. For it, this general skill with a power of 150 was just a casual attack.
"Deoxys from outer space is extremely strange, with the ability to regenerate at high speed. No matter which part of its body is shattered by Rayquaza's destructive beam, it can quickly recover its combat effectiveness, and it can also quickly change its form according to the battle situation and use the energy used for attack, defense or speed."
With its strange form-changing ability, Deoxys has blocked Rayquaza's attacks several times, and even released powerful super powers to hit the opponent dozens of times.
But Rayquaza has unlimited physical strength and generally does not receive any damage no matter how it is attacked. After it adapts to Deoxys's ability, it seizes the opportunity to completely blast this creature from outer space into dust with a destructive beam, and then swaggers away, leaving only the polar scientific research camp that was completely destroyed by the battle between the two and the messy humans in the cold wind.
"Is the gap between the super ancient Pokémon and ordinary Pokémon so big?" Lila smiled helplessly after listening to the description of the battle between the two. "Deoxys can hit Rayquaza countless times, but the latter can directly destroy the opponent with just one hit."
I wonder how trainers can train ordinary Pokémon to achieve this level. Maybe even the champion will not be a match for Rayquaza?
"But Rayquaza should not have been able to really kill Deoxys. You just said that this alien Pokémon has a special regeneration ability. By the way, how did you know this confidential information, Yashida?" Zhou You pointed out the doubts about this matter sharply.
"What's your tone? I have so many friends!"
Hearing the doubt from the ten-year-old, Yashida proudly patted his chest: "In order to build a battle frontier in Kanto, I came to Larousse City in Hoenn to learn from Dr. Rondo, the designer of this smart modern city, and I have discussed cooperation many times with Dr. Rondo and his scientific expedition team. He was the witness of the epic battle two years ago!"
"So Deoxys is not dead yet?" Lila was a little excited. She roughly guessed what Yashida meant. "It was regenerated after being picked up by Dr. Rondo?"
"I can only say that there is this trend." Yashida smiled happily.
In fact, the Deoxys that was killed by the destructive ray left a purple crystal. Dr. Rondo guessed that it was its true body. The green crystal that the other party found in the polar region is exactly the same as it is likely to be the same kind of Deoxys.
Although the former sank into the sea and eventually disappeared, Dr. Rondo brought the green core back and has been trying to revive it safely for the past two years to study the life forms of alien creatures.
Obviously, what Yashida planned to take Zhou You and Lila to visit was the core crystal of Deoxys.
Lila, who heard this, immediately showed great interest and wanted to at least take a look at the legendary life from the universe.
Zhou You looked uninterested: "I won't go. I've been out all day and I have to go back to Guandu to take care of the elves."
Although he summarized his daily life as playing cards, fishing, bird racing...
But the workload of taking care of a large family of elves by one person is not as easy as imagined. Cooking, feeding, brushing, cleaning, and recording their daily status changes in a table, there is no room for negligence.
And this workload will double with the increase in the number and type of elves.
Pokémons from the same egg group need to be classified and placed in male and female. Pokémons with different attributes and categories also have different ways of taking care of them, and even need to pay attention to their mental and psychological states in real time.
If Zhou You had not interned at the Oak Research Institute for a few years, and he was also learning about breeders, it would be difficult to take care of such a large family.
The most important thing is that the event related to Deoxys will not be triggered until two years later.
It will take a long time for it to regenerate after being shattered by a destructive beam from Rayquaza. Dr. Rondo's attempt to revive the green Deoxys core crystal naturally needs to be carried out safely and cautiously, and there will be no excitement in the short term...
Wait!
Zhou You suddenly realized a problem. Can he go directly to the polar region and pick up another Deoxys home! ?
As soon as he thought of this possibility, he immediately called Reshiram in his heart: "Reshiram, can your superpowers scan the deep sea under the polar ice cap and search for a specific thing?"
"Do you want to find the regenerating Deoxys?" The latter quickly understood the other party's idea.
The location of the polar research station is not a secret, and the location of the Deoxys core has not changed since two years ago. In theory, as long as there is a Pokémon with powerful superpowers, it can find the other party.
And Reshiram just happens to meet this condition!
