Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 483 The Ether Foundation's Movements
Lugia: ?

"Call Ho-Oh over here, me?"

Lugia pointed to itself with its pure white wings.

Looking at Li Xuan's affirmative gaze, he couldn't help but scratch his head and say, "But, I'm not very familiar with the Phoenix King."

Li Xuan:?
You're not familiar with Ho-Oh?

Isn't this just a joke?
Li Xuan was puzzled.

"We're really not that close. If you asked my wife, she'd probably be a bit more familiar with me."

Seeing Li Xuan's questioning and scrutinizing gaze, Lugia quickly explained.

It is Lochia in the Orange Islands, but if we're talking about residency, it's actually a Kanto residency.

Ho-Oh is from the Johto region and only occasionally visits the Kanto region.

They hadn't seen each other for quite some time, and had even forgotten how to contact each other.

If you ask your wife, she has no problem.

In a sense, they are still best friends.

Li Xuan: “…”

"Where is your wife now?"

Li Xuan had no choice but to settle for second best and ask where Lugia's wife was.

"The Jodo region, it seems to be in some kind of sea, but as for what kind of sea... uh, where is it again? Do you know?"

Lugia scratched his head.

It only remembered that its wife was somewhere in the sea area of ​​the Johto region.

To ask for the specific place name...

Grass,
Li Xuan was even more confused.

"You mean you don't even know where your own wife is?"

Li Xuan never expected that Lugia would be so unreliable.

He's so unreliable that he even forgets where his wife and kids are!

This guy is amazing!

"hey-hey."

Lugia chuckled.

"Hey, you big dummy!"

Li Xuan felt that among the group of legends he was following, very few were truly reliable.

"And what about you, Dream?"

Li Xuan could only watch Little Riolu and see if this guy had any ideas.

"Mio..." (Well... Ho-Oh only appears in front of those with a pure heart.)
Little Riolu glanced at Li Xuan and couldn't help but mutter under its breath.

"You mean I don't have a childlike heart? How could someone as good as me not have a childlike heart?"

Li Xuan felt that he actually had a very childlike heart.

at least
"Mio." (Hard to say.)
Little Riolu smacked his lips.

"Mio." (Okay, if you really have a childlike heart, then treat me to all-you-can-eat barbecue every day from now on. That way, I'll tell Ho-Oh that you have a childlike heart.)
Little Riolu chuckled.

Li Xuan rolled his eyes and said irritably, "So, given the current situation, you're still thinking about eating all-you-can-eat barbecue?"

"Mio~" (Hehe, this guy's condition isn't actually as bad as you say. He'll probably be gone for another year or two.)
Little Riolu only started negotiating with Li Xuan after confirming that the situation wasn't that critical.

Li Xuan's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he continued, "Before we find the Phoenix King, try using the healing wave to see if you can heal it."

"Mio." (I'll give it a try.)
Little Riolu also knew that this was a serious matter.

If Deoxys really dies, the Hoenn region will definitely suffer an unnecessary and fatal blow.

If we can revive this Deoxys, causing the Deoxys in outer space to reduce its attacks and focus its attention on Rayquaza, then things will definitely be much easier to resolve.

At least.

There is a high probability that the number of meteorites can be reduced.

If they work together, they won't be in a chaotic situation.

Little Riolu let out a sigh of relief.

Immediately following, a beam of light with immense life force was released from his hands, radiating a unique pink glow.

Pfft!

The healing energy directly entered Deoxys's body.

It was dazzling in an instant.

Li Xuan couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands, while simultaneously using his aura to sense Deoxys's condition.

That source of life is constantly being restored.

But soon...

Once Riolu stopped outputting healing waves, Deoxys deflated like a punctured balloon, its life force instantly draining away.

Come on.

Even if Ho-Oh or Xerneas came, there would be nothing they could do.

Li Xuan immediately understood what was going on with Deoxys.

No wonder this guy's brother wants to take action against the Hoenn region.

Is there really no cure at all?
Liekong's attack was quite ruthless.

It's really a deadly move.

Deoxys had barely recovered halfway when his injuries became too severe, causing him to leak out the life force brought by the healing fluctuations.

This really proves what the system said.

"It was because I was in a hurry back then, there was nothing I could do..."

Liekong saw that Deoxys had become like this.

I was naturally a little embarrassed.

It looked at Li Xuan, and the other Pokémon also turned their attention to him.

With the power of their Pokémon, it would be almost impossible to restore Deoxys to its original state.

It's just that with the current level of human technology, it's not possible to maintain Deoxys' vital signs.

I don't ask for too much.

As long as I can stay alive, that's enough.

By then, Deoxys in outer space should have a means of recovery.

After all, they are aliens; perhaps such injuries are nothing to them.

Of course, this is also a guess from many Pokémon.

Whether Deoxys will become even more enraged and retaliate is still unknown.

"I'll go back and take a look first. Devon Corporation on Daigo's side should have a device similar to a nutrient tank. If we put Deoxys's core in it, even if it leaks out, it shouldn't leak too far."

Just now, Li Xuan noticed the situation of Deoxys' core when Little Riolu used Healing Wave.

There were no problems during the healing process.

They just "vomited" it all out immediately after the treatment was completed.

Theoretically, if you soak in it for a long time, it should be fine to maintain your vital signs.

If we can restore some consciousness to Deoxys's core and force it to use a move like "Self-Regeneration," we might be able to revive the team.

The prerequisite is that I can wake up.

Li Xuan didn't hold out much hope either.

As long as vital signs can be maintained, that is a victory.

With this in mind, Li Xuan sent a private message to Daigo to ask if Dewen Company could handle the matter.

[Abandoned Monkey at the Dojo: Steven, do you guys at Devon have any nutrient tanks or something to maintain the Pokémon's vital signs?]

[Zufiki Daigo: Yes, what's wrong?]

[Abandoned Monkey at the Dojo: It's like this. I have a Pokémon here that's currently on the verge of death. This Pokémon is related to the Meteorite Crisis, and I'm thinking that if I can revive it, it might come in handy during the next Meteorite Crisis.]

Deoxys is a Pokémon that values ​​loyalty and affection.

Li Xuan admitted that there was an element of gambling involved in his actions.

However, judging from the fact that he was able to communicate with the other party by emitting benevolent waves, there is a high probability that he could make Deoxys hold back a bit, so that they wouldn't have to fight to the death.

[Daigo Zubuchi: Okay, let's go straight to Devon Corporation then. I'm currently in Green Moss City, still searching for the last meteorite, so I won't be going there yet.]

[The Abandoned Monkey of the Dojo: OK, Daigo, you go ahead and get busy.]

Always make multiple preparations.

If Rayquaza could return to his peak strength, then there would be nothing to fear.

Having combat power but not using it is a completely different matter from having no combat power at all.

Daigo also hopes that Rayquaza's strength will return to its peak.

The more the merrier. After Li Xuan finished speaking with Daigo, he picked up Deoxys's core and jumped onto Rayquaza.

Rayquaza didn't say much, but soared into the sky, heading straight for Kanaz City.

……

……

Hoenn region, Rustboro City

Upon arriving in Kanaz, Li Xuan walked into Devon Company with practiced ease.

I had been here once before with Daigo, and the staff here recognized Li Xuan. In addition, Daigo sent me a text message saying that he wanted to welcome Li Xuan and that he would give his full support no matter what he did.

So, the free staff members followed Li Xuan, wanting to see what he was up to.

Li Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and directly told the staff his thoughts.

"A nutrient tank filled with nutrient solution? No problem, follow me to the third floor."

A female employee dressed in office attire led Li Xuan to a private room in the Devon Company.

Once inside.

Li Xuan then saw many devices.

He knew some of them, including the fossil revival device he had seen in Red Lotus Town.

Li Xuan couldn't name the other devices.

All I knew was that it was quite expensive.

"Mr. Li Xuan, this is the nutrient capsule that the young master asked us to prepare for you."

The female employee pointed to the equipment located in the center.

Looking inside, Li Xuan saw that the semi-transparent cabin was filled with emerald green nutrient solution, and bubbles were slowly rising along the cabin walls.

"The nutrient solution inside is a special nutrient solution made from a mixture of whole-body medicine essence, vital energy blocks, resurrection grass, vital energy roots, and large rhizomes. You can use it with complete peace of mind."

The female employee operated the control panel and opened the door to the nutrient chamber.

Li Xuan nodded slightly and sent Deoxys's core inside.

Glug... Glug...

The moment Deoxys' core entered, the nutrient solution inside the chamber boiled up completely!
A green mist rose up, but because the nutrient tank was well sealed, there was no leakage.

Li Xuan looked at the panel displayed by the system, and his heart finally settled down.

Pokémon: Deoxys

[Omitted]

[Note: The injured area is currently recovering. Estimated time required for completion: 359:59:59]

It takes nearly 360 hours, or 15 days.

As long as nothing unexpected happens along the way, we should be able to see a brand new Deoxys in fifteen days.

That's right...

Li Xuan stared at Deoxys, whose core was now only one piece, and fell into deep thought.

He lost even a leg, and he can recover completely in fifteen days...?

That's really outrageous.

It can only be said that Pokémon truly deserves to be called "Pocket Monsters".

That's truly amazing.

After a while.

[Zivskyi Daigo: Brother Li Xuan, how's the effect of Devon's nutrient tank? Has it achieved the results you expected?]

[Dojo Abandoned Monkey: Yes, it's estimated that Deoxys will be fully restored within fifteen days. As expected of my brother Daigo, he saved us most of the trouble.]

Li Xuan's words are true.

If this nutrient tank doesn't work.

He really wanted Riolu to take him to find Ho-Oh and Xerneas.

We'll make sure they stay there for a month, no matter what, to see if we can give Deoxys a nirvana.

Now that we have the nutrient tanks, there's no need to go looking for those two.

Li Xuan doesn't need to owe such a huge favor.

"Then I'll take my leave now and come back later."

After saying that, Li Xuan wanted to leave Dewen Company.

We still need to find the meteorite that Rayquaza needs within these thirty days.

Very busy.

However, the female employee stopped Li Xuan and quickly said, "Mr. Li Xuan, please wait. Our chairman would like to meet with you!"

"Chairman?"

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows.

The current chairman of Devon Corporation is Daigo's father, Zvoki Hibiscus.

Last time I came to Devon Company, I didn't have any contact with Zvoqi Hibiscus.

and so……

What does this big shot want from me?
Li Xuan was puzzled, but considering that Zifuqi Mujin was Daigo's father, he simply followed along to see what they wanted to do with him.

Soon, Li Xuan arrived at the chairman's office.

The interior decoration is quite elegant.

Li Xuan glanced around and couldn't help but look at the painting "Blazing Roaring Tiger Descending the Mountain" hanging on the wall a few more times.

"Mr. Li Xuan, if you like this painting, just take it down and leave. It's nothing to worry about, as it's only worth a few hundred thousand."

A cheerful male voice came from the desk not far away.

Li Xuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw an elderly man with silver-blue hair, dressed in a sharp suit and looking somewhat peaceful.

The person before me is the chairman of Devon Company, Zifuqi Mujin.

"It's nothing, I'm just feeling curious. Mr. Zvoich, you don't need to be so polite."

Li Xuan clasped his hands in a fist salute.

At the same time, he secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

A painting can cost over ten thousand...

Although I do have some money now, it still feels a bit pricey.

The most expensive painting in the dojo appears to be the one written by the first master, Wu De: "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form."

Up to a thousand dollars.

"Haha, Master Li Xuan is too kind."

Zivqi Mujin didn't insist too much, but instead had her female secretary lead Li Xuan to the sofa next to her.

He himself got up and walked over.

After sitting down on the sofa.

"Excellent, full of energy."

Zifuqi Mujin looked Li Xuan up and down, then nodded slightly: "Mr. Li Xuan, I called you here today to talk to you about something."

"what's up?"

Li Xuan blinked.

This was his first time meeting with Zivchi Mujin.

I don't know what they'll be talking about.

"I wonder if Pavilion Master Li Xuan is aware of the Ether Foundation?"

Zifuqi Mujin poured Li Xuan a cup of tea.

Li Xuan nodded and replied, "I've heard a little about it. What's wrong with the local businesses in the Alola region?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the Ether Foundation's recent activities are a bit... well, I can't quite put my finger on it."

Zifuqi Mujin recounted the general situation to Li Xuan.

The Ether Foundation has recently expressed its intention to travel to the Kanto region.

But going to the Kanto region seems fine.

But here's the thing.

The Ethereum Foundation actually wants to bring in Devon Corporation, Galaxy Corporation, and Flashfire Corporation.

"Ok?"

Li Xuan felt something was off.

What to say?

Is this an attempt to drag Devon Corporation into this mess?
