Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

The silver-haired girl was also dressed in a pure white onesie spacesuit, making her figure appear even more slender and tall. She was slightly bowing her head, her fingertips brushing against the cold, purplish-black armband around her wrist, as if communicating silently.

"Are you nervous?" Daigo's voice came from behind him. He had changed out of his formal attire and was now dressed in work clothes, working alongside the busy crowd.

“A little,” Corne admitted honestly, “after all, it’s real space, but with her around, I can always feel at ease.”

Following her gaze, Daigo saw Nan Yin and smiled, expressing his affirmation.

With such friends, why should I feel uneasy or afraid?

"With adequate preparation, there is no need to fear the unknown."

Perhaps sensing her friend's unease, Nan Yin took the initiative to step forward and hold the other's slender hand.

“Well said.” Mikkel gave a slap on the wrist, his praise evident in his words. “The rocket has undergone a final check and is in perfect condition. The orbital parameters have been locked onto the leading point of Deochis, which will send you to a relatively safe observation distance. The rest…” He looked at Nan Yin and Korni, “is up to you.”

The conversation with Rayquaza and what happened along the way have been fully explained to everyone. With the promise from the Dragon God, both sides are at ease.

Ruby and Safia's condition is not suitable for the complexities of space travel, and Higana's personality is too impulsive and straightforward, lacking flexibility. Therefore, only Nan Yin, a calm and composed junior, is deemed worthy of the responsibility.

"Go, girls, I will provide you with all the help you need."

The countdown sound was clearly transmitted through the communicator to the crew compartment at the top of the rocket.

"Five, four, three..."

As the countdown waned, the rocket gradually broke free from the Earth's gravity, transforming into a comet that tore through the night sky, resolutely piercing into the boundless deep space.

Outside the porthole, orange-red flames generated by atmospheric friction fiercely licked the fairing, illuminating the cabin in a fiery red glow, as if one were in a furnace.

The pressure increased sharply, and Ke'er felt physically and mentally uncomfortable, but she still gritted her teeth and forced herself to open her eyes wide and look in Nan Yin's direction—she still stood tall, like a javelin stuck in a torrent.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

It is an incomparably comforting and reassuring feeling.

"Breaking through the Kármán line...entering near-Earth orbit!"

A slightly excited voice came through the communicator from the ground control center.

As if crossing an invisible threshold, the heart-wrenching vibrations and roars suddenly diminished and disappeared. In their place came a strange, heart-pounding sense of weightlessness. Her body suddenly felt light, as if floating in warm amniotic fluid. The restraints binding her body became meaningless, and Korni could even feel her hair detached from gravity, gently swaying before her eyes.

Outside the porthole, the raging flames subsided, revealing the deepest, purest color of the universe. It was no longer the inky blue of night, but a cold, heavy black that absorbed all light.

Beneath this black velvet, the vast, arc-shaped continent of Hoenn floats silently on the planet's surface, with azure oceans enveloping verdant land, and clouds flowing slowly above it like soft veils—a breathtakingly magnificent sight.

"So beautiful..." Korne forgot to breathe, forgot the fear she had just felt, and was left only with pure shock and awe. She had never imagined that the land she knew so well would look like this from space.

Nan Yin's gaze did not linger too long on the magnificent planetary scenery. Her senses, like invisible tentacles, had already pierced through the cold alloy walls and spread into the deeper void.

"It's here," she said softly, her voice unusually clear in the quiet cabin.

Almost the instant she finished speaking, an unimaginably vast, dark green "mountain range" appeared outside the porthole, tearing apart the backdrop of stars and appearing in front of the rocket.

Rayquaza!

Its appearance was so abrupt, yet it carried an air of self-evident, domineering majesty. No longer perched atop the pillar of the sky, it now stretched out its slender body, each of its dark scales reflecting a cold light beneath the cosmos.

Golden patterns, like ancient inscriptions, flowed across its rugged head and back. Its vertical pupils, molten gold, were now calmly watching this creation that spewed out the tail flames of technology.

It neither flapped its wings nor swam; it simply hovered silently in the vacuum, its massive body seemingly blending into the darkness, yet radiating an immense pressure that could not be ignored.

The communicator inside the capsule fell silent for a moment, then came the incredulous exclamation from ground control: "High-energy life form detected! Orbital parameters... match the target, Rayquaza! It, it's—"

"Fly with us!"

Chapter 275 Meteor Shower

Living in the heavens, when you look back, you will see the clear blue Earth reflected in your eyes.

Misty clouds drift, lush green fields stretch as far as the eye can see, and the ocean surges with the tide—

A sliver of light pierced through all obstacles, and amidst the silent burning, a dragon soared from the atmosphere, circling the rocket.

The slender astronaut, inside the spacecraft, glanced at the nearby satellite and paused slightly in surprise.

He then nodded slightly to show his safety.

In an instant, the entire Hoenn region was in an uproar.

Insignificant humans, in order to resolve disasters and protect their homes, embark on a journey to the heavens with legend.

The researchers were filled with excitement, some recalling their dreams of reaching for the stars, others thinking of space heroes.

A feeling of joy mixed with surprise; such emotions are simply indescribable.

"That's a truly remarkable feat."

With his hands on his hips and wearing a vest, the blue-haired man looked up at the sky and murmured unconsciously.

"Indeed, before this, because of Rayquaza's existence, we were unable to launch satellites into outer space. Now that we have achieved our goal, it is a historic breakthrough. However, this means we owe Nanon Tensei and Carlos a favor again."

With a short sigh, Mikoli gazed at the stars, his thoughts growing deeper.

The bittersweet, exhilarating, and awe-inspiring experience of the first successful rocket test flight, breaking through the Earth's surface, resonated deeply with everyone who knew about it.

Two days ago, after President Zvoich sincerely apologized to Higana, she felt a persistent obsession weighing on her mind.

It wasn't the satisfaction of revenge, nor the hatred for Devon Corporation, but rather a sense of感慨 and liberation.

Her hair swayed in the wind, and her tattered cloak rustled in the breeze.

In the unseen space, someone else is taking on the responsibility for her, just as she herself shouldered the mission of 'Xijia' that year.

......

"Are we really in space?" Korne's eyes widened, feeling a moment of disorientation. She gazed at the huge blue star shrouded in white clouds outside the porthole, a sense of pride rising within her.

"Hmm." Nan Yin responded, but her gaze went beyond the universe and landed on the other side of the porthole.

At the center, surrounded by stars, a bright, fiery orb of light is casting a gentle warmth in all directions.

It is beautiful, it is pure, it is the life force of all things, the sun.

Perhaps noticing the girl's gaze, Bai Long's inner thoughts quietly surfaced.

[Simply hold it in reverence, Nanyin.]

These were words spoken with utmost seriousness.

"I see."

Gazing at that blazing distant star, the girl already knew the true identity of this being—Ultimate Necrozma.

Glancing away, she caught a glimpse of several small meteorites floating around her.

With its shell-like outer shell and gray-black surface, it seemed to sense the presence of the gods in the heavens, and hurriedly changed course, drifting away.

"Alternative life forms are truly amazing."

With this realization, the keen senses then traced the source, and against the backdrop of countless stars, a tiny yet remarkably clear dark purple patch was silently gliding along a predetermined, purposeful trajectory.

The existence rooted in it is magnified on the auxiliary screen of the telescope—not a regular geometric shape, but more like a crystal core that is constantly and slowly wriggling and changing its subtle edges, with complex double helix lines intertwined on its surface.

A pure, inhuman sense of loneliness permeates the air, seemingly penetrating the very marrow of one's bones through the gaze.

Deochis.

From the smallest to the largest, until the gaze was instantly drawn to the giant meteorite battleground, a strong visual impact was felt. Its surface was uneven, with fragments constantly breaking off from its surface.

The goal of this trip is right before our eyes.

Without making any rash provocations, Nan Yin released a waveguide from her eyebrow star, gradually inquiring about the other party's intentions from their direction.

However, before the thoughts could settle, the crystal rooted on the meteorite seemed to receive a signal, suddenly bursting forth with a blinding purple light. Its structure was as if kneaded and stretched by an invisible hand, instantly reorganizing—its edges became sharp, its arms extended like sharp blades, its streamlined torso replaced its original chaotic outline, and its eyes were fixed directly on the tiny rocket hull, or perhaps, the dark dragon behind it.

Attack mode.

hum-

A streak of light, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, tore through the vacuum, instantly traversing what seemed like an endless distance. There was no sound, only the tremors of the capsule as it was grazed by high-speed particles. Deoxys was so fast that even light and shadow seemed to be folded by it; one moment it was on the meteorite, the next, its sharp tentacles, like the scythe of death, silently cleaved towards the rocket's capsule.

Is it a lack of communication, or...? Glancing at the accompanying black dragon, Nan Yin had already made up her mind.

"Tianxi".

Knowing the reason for the unprovoked attack, but facing the sudden offensive, they could only temporarily subdue the attackers with force.

The figure of the Pink Diamond Princess materialized outside the capsule in the light, her arms elegantly crossed over her chest. Instantly, a dazzling diamond storm took shape, no longer a magnificent vortex, but countless fine, hard crystal lattice barriers arranged in a honeycomb structure, precisely sheltering the entire rocket capsule within.

laugh--

The surface crystals were forcibly torn apart by a sharp blade. Under the high-frequency energy cutting, the fine cracks spread step by step, but gradually weakened. In the end, even if one wanted to go further, one could only return empty-handed.

However, the former did not bud despite the gradual weakening of its offensive. In just a moment, Deoxys's attack method changed.

Like a precise instrument, it once again swung its long blade, each strike hitting the tenon joint of the crystalline structure with pinpoint accuracy, frequently causing a chain of resonances.

"It's learning, it's adapting?" Nan Yin instantly realized. The most terrifying aspect of the Deoxys virus life form is not its sheer power, but its almost limitless ability to learn and evolve.

"We have to stop it."

Korne glanced over, and in the instant their eyes met, she understood her friend's thoughts.

The environment of space is not suitable for contact-based punches and kicks; special attack-oriented moves are more effective.

Lucario! Shadow Ball!

The two wills were highly unified under the resonance of the waveguide. Lucario suddenly opened his eyes, passed through the walls of the arrow pod, and condensed his spiritual power into a tangible sphere.

It is not for effective killing, but merely to disrupt the opponent's will and create an environment favorable to one's own side.

The Deoxys core's intricately operating, predictive, and analytical 'thought' was suddenly subjected to a negligible interference from another dimension, causing it to momentarily fall into chaos and stagnation.

The precise strike abruptly halted, followed by a flickering and twisting motion, like a valuable instrument injected with garbled code, its original rhythm disrupted. The resilient, constantly self-repairing energy shell also experienced a brief period of disorder.

At this very moment, the silver-haired girl and the ruler of the sky simultaneously caught the opening in that split second.

"Roar—!" The thunderous roar was silent, only the sharp light bursting from the dragon's eyes!

[Scum, garbage.]

Rayquaza, which had been surrounding it, no longer stood idly by. Its long-accumulated power, enough to tear apart a meteorite, merged from its scattered form into a golden ray of light that had been refined to the extreme—the true essence of the finishing touch.

Its rugged form, like a thunderclap, directly targeted the core weakness exposed by the mental interference.

However, even the speed of the dragon god could not match that of Deoxys, which had evolved extreme organs to adapt to the environment. Deoxys had sharp horns protruding from the top of its head, and its hands had transformed into long whips. It was much lighter and more agile overall.

The figure moved like a sword, like a flowing stream, propelling itself forward with unparalleled speed.

The roar never stopped, the collisions never ceased, as if two streaks of light were chasing each other.

At that moment, Nan Yin gently brushed past the purplish-black mark on her wrist.

"Mujitana".

Beneath the calm call lies a weight powerful enough to crush the universe.

The enormous body of the venomous dragon reappeared, its size surpassing even that of the meteorite.

Boundless energy surged downwards, collapsing and condensing inwards like a cage, completely sealing off the space where Deoxys could evade.

"Tianxi".

Diancie raised her small hand, releasing all her strength to fulfill the girl's wishes. The airspace where they were located became hazy and blurred, as if the order of speed had been reversed.

Magic Space.

With constraints ahead and pursuers behind, this is an unavoidable and fatal blow.

His limbs were stiff, his balance was off, and it felt as if a thousand heavy weights were pressing down on his spine. Looking around at the empty battlefield, Deoxys stared blankly, his mind filled with confusion.

The environment has changed.

At the same time, the chilling whisper also brought this sudden battle to a close.

"Did you see that clearly, Salamence?"

"Roar!"

A colossal azure dragon spreads its wings across the universe, harnessing the remaining air currents and utilizing the potential energy in both directions to its fullest extent, reaching near-maximum speed.

It was none other than Rayquaza's posture during its cosmic journey, which Rayquaza had also learned and adapted to.

"So--"

That figure pierced through the sea of ​​stars, meeting two chasing beams of light. Nan Yin also raised the keystone at her fingertips, unleashing the radiant glow of evolution.
