I caught a Pokémon

"It's all thanks to you." Kuroda smiled wryly. "Last time, it was thanks to you that the Ocean Team didn't succeed. Afterwards, the president was furious and ordered a complete overhaul of security to prevent such a thing from happening again, which is why it's like this now."

As they spoke, Kuroda led them to a central control room.

The control room was extremely large, filled with various computers and monitors. Among the dozen or so researchers, Xia You spotted President Zvoich at a glance.

Upon seeing Xia You enter, Zifuqi greeted her with a smile.

"Mr. Xia You, we meet again!"

"Hello, President." Xia You nodded and got straight to the point, "Is there something important you need from me today?"

Zvoich didn't answer him immediately, but instead looked at Xia and asked, "And who is this...?"

"Hello," Xiaoxia said gracefully. "My name is Xiaoxia, and I'm Xia You's travel companion."

Seeing that Xia You was accompanied only by Xiaoxia and not Lijia, Zifuqi couldn't help but ask, "Where is Miss Lijia?"

Lijia?

Xia You was puzzled, but still said, "She has already returned to Guandu."

Zivchi frowned slightly, and seeing his hesitation, Xia You couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there something you need to see Lijia about?"

Zvoch looked slightly disappointed, but still shook his head: "No, actually I'm not looking for her, I just want to use the help of the two of you."

With our help?

Xia You's heart stirred. She knew that the power that Zifuqi mentioned should be the combat power of herself and Lijia. But what could be the matter that required her and Lijia to take action at the same time?

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zvage, don't underestimate Misty just because she's young. She's the younger sister of the Cerulean City Gym Leader in the Kanto region. After this trip, she'll be going back to inherit the Gym Leader position. She's proficient in Water-type Pokémon and is very strong. She's also my best helper!"

Hearing Xia You's words, Xiaoxia also felt a surge of inexplicable emotions.

The best helper?

So that's how Xia Youge perceived me!

"Oh?" After Xia You introduced Xiaoxia's identity, Zivqi looked at Xiaoxia again and said in surprise, "So that's how it is. I was really blind. As expected, those who can travel with you are not ordinary people!"

Just as he said, Zvoich really didn't expect that this little girl who looked to be only a teenager would be so amazing.

Moreover, it is truly unexpected that someone so young would have to go back and inherit the position of the head of the academy!

But in Zvoch’s heart, he knew that Xia You was probably right. After all, this man’s strength was obvious to all, and his character was equally outstanding. He would never deceive him in order to elevate his companion.

He said she's strong, so this girl must be extraordinary!

Thinking of this, he immediately felt relieved.

Seeing his expression, Xia You was extremely puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zvoich, can you tell me now why you came to see me?"

Zvoich stopped keeping them in suspense and led the two to the large screen, then nodded to one of the researchers.

The researcher understood, turned around and made a few operations on the computer, and instantly a video appeared on the screen.

Xia You and Xiao Xia looked up at the same time. The image was taken from the perspective of a satellite. The surrounding area was a dark universe twinkling with stars, with only one huge planet closest to them showing its beauty.

The ocean, land, mountains, and snowfields are all clearly visible.

Xiaoxia couldn't help but ask, "Is this our Earth?"

The Earth she spoke of, though sharing the same name as the Earth Xia You lived on before her transmigration, actually refers to the planet they now inhabit.

"That's right, this is the planet we live on," said Zvocchi.

Xiaoxia nodded, but she was also wondering why they had to show this to them out of the blue.

However, she quickly realized that the protagonist in the video was clearly not Earth, but something else entirely!

A huge object, resembling a meteorite yet not quite, flew rapidly from the distant universe and crashed into the satellite's solar panels in an instant, completely destroying them. Affected by this force, the entire satellite began to tumble and roll.

In this scene, the strange meteorite was seen falling straight towards Earth and crashing into a continent!

The scene ends here.

Xiaoxia was puzzled, but she could still tell from the terrain of the continent that it should be the Hoenn region, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zvuch, do you want us to go and find this meteorite?"

“That’s right.” Zvoich nodded, but then added, “In fact, we have found it, but we encountered some trouble when we tried to bring it back for research.”

"Trouble?" Xiaoxia asked curiously. "What kind of trouble? Radiation? Or something else?"

At this point, Xia You had already roughly guessed Zifuqi's purpose.

In fact, meteorites are not uncommon in the Pokémon world. Many research institutes are conducting various studies on these extraterrestrial stones, trying to discover some potential value within them.

But one type of meteorite is quite unusual compared to most meteorites.

Because it is often accompanied by a Pokémon from outer space!

Meteorites are both the home of these Pokémon and their means of travel, allowing them to drift from the depths of space all the way to the ends of the universe, or to fall like meteors onto strange planets!

This Pokémon is the legendary Mythical Pokémon with Psychic-type abilities—Deoxys!

Sure enough, after a pause, Zvoich asked, "Do you know Deoxys?"

Xia You didn't speak, while Xiaoxia glanced at him and then shook her head at Zivqi.

"Deoxys? What's that? Is it a Pokémon?"

“That’s right.” Zvoich explained slowly, “I have a friend named Lundo, who is a doctor. Four years ago, when he was doing research in Antarctica, he encountered a special thing. At that time, he had already established a research station, but a meteorite happened to fall nearby. And a Pokémon that had never been discovered before appeared in the meteorite, which is Deoxys!”

Xia You also knew about the incident that Zvoich was talking about; in fact, it was something that happened in a certain theatrical version.

The Deoxys on this planet are not uncommon; at least five have appeared in all the anime and movies!

Even in the theatrical version, two of them appeared at the same time!

And this is only what people have discovered; if we include those that have fallen in uninhabited areas or the ocean, there are probably many more.

"A Pokémon from outer space..." Misty nodded knowingly. "So, there's a Deoxys like this in that meteorite. Do you want us to help you catch it?"

“Of course not,” Zvoich sighed. “I’m not interested in Pokémon. But as you saw in the video, the satellite that was hit was our Devon Corporation’s experimental satellite. After it was destroyed by the meteorite, it became completely useless. Of course, that’s a minor matter, and I don’t really care. What interests me most is the research value of that meteorite!”

After a pause, Zvoich continued, "Rare elements and rare energies, once discovered and used, will give people a greater understanding of the universe and advance technology. However, after we located the impact site of the meteorite, we organized armed forces to retrieve it several times, but each time we were defeated by that Deoxys..."

Xiaoxia asked curiously, "Then why didn't you ask the police for help?"

Zvoc glanced at the little girl.

"Our actions are essentially a form of business competition. We were the first to receive the news and the first to discover the meteorite, so naturally we had to be the first to retrieve it. If we notify the police, this matter will inevitably spread to other people, and then..."

At this point, Xiaoxia understood.

She simply hadn't encountered these deeper issues and hadn't thought about the intricacies, but that didn't mean she was stupid. Just from Zvoich's explanation, she understood the implications.

"I see, I understand now."

Turning to Xia You, Zifuqi smiled and said, "Mr. Xia You, you also have some ideas about Pokémon like this, right? So, this favor..."

Xia You smiled slightly: "Of course I'll help you with this."

Indeed, because Deoxys is so rare, and Xia You really likes this kind of Pokémon, it was hard for him to remain indifferent after hearing the news.

It seems that Zuvchi also understood this point, knowing that Pokémon would not be interested in a trainer as powerful as him, which is why he dared to come to him for help with such certainty!

However, after figuring this out, Xia You still couldn't help but ask, "Such an important matter, didn't you send Daigo? I believe that with his strength, he should be able to bring the meteorite back."

Zvoch gave a wry smile but said nothing.

Seeing this, Kuroda, the secretary standing nearby, explained, "Actually, we don't know where Young Master Daigo has gone recently. Not only can we not get through to him by phone, but even his satellite positioning is not working."

Can't find it?

Xia You shook her head helplessly.

He must be digging for stones in some cave.

Being deep inside the cave, it would be strange if we could even make contact.

I really don't understand, if Daigo likes digging for rocks so much, why doesn't he become a miner...?

"Alright, let's not delay, I'll set off now. But excuse me, do you have a Poké Ball teleporter here?"

“Of course I have it,” Zvoich asked. “What do you need it for?”

"Of course, it's about deploying troops," Xia You said with a smile. "Deoxys is not so easy to deal with. If we want to defeat it, I'll need to bring some of my old lineup with me."

……

Because the matter was urgent and every second could be lost to someone else, Xia You, after receiving the 'mission' and changing the Poké Ball, left the Devon Corporation building with Xiaoxia in a helicopter, watching Zvuche go, and flew to the area where the meteorite was located.

For this mission, Zvoich also provided the two with some new equipment.

This is because Deoxys has the ability to alter magnetic fields. Ordinary communication devices and equipment become useless in its presence, and even many Electric-type Pokémon are affected to varying degrees.

Even helicopters have to fly to a certain area before they can land!

Without some specialized equipment, Xia You and his companions might have turned into modern cavemen by the time they found Deoxys!

Chapter 663 Fly! Dance!

Deep in the mountains near LavaCover Town in the southwest of the Hoenn continent.

This is part of Chimney Mountain's foothills, and it's not far from Meteor Falls.

Sitting in the helicopter, Xia You nodded and looked out the window. He had originally planned not to come here again after challenging the Fuyan Gym, but he did not expect that he would set foot on this mountain range again after such a short time.

Life is truly unpredictable.

I remember when I captured Iron Dumbbell here, I not only encountered Dr. Thorance who was kidnapped by Team Magma and Team Aqua, but also met Higanbana of the Meteor Dwellers while escaping.

Looking back now, it all seems like it just happened yesterday.

After flying for a while, the helicopter landed on a flat piece of ground as it descended.

The person in the passenger seat turned to Xia You and shouted, "The magnetic field ahead is very strong, we can't go any further. You'll have to walk here. Other team members have set up an observation point ahead. Follow this path, you can go there and meet up with them!"

Nodding, Xia You and Xiao Xia tidied up their equipment, then jumped out of the helicopter and headed in the direction the man had indicated.

Behind the two, the helicopter took off again, and as the roar faded into the distance, it soon disappeared into the horizon.

With the deafening sound of the propeller gone, the two finally had some peace and quiet, and their ears, which had been tormented by noise all the way, were able to rest at this moment.

Compared to the barren main mountain range of Chimney Mountain, this area is noticeably greener.

Not only can you see large groves of trees on the mountain, but the ground is also covered with lush grass, and wild Pokémon occasionally appear around.

Following the path, Xia You hadn't gone far when she saw several simple tents in the distance, and outside the tents, several men dressed in Dewen Company security uniforms were on guard.

This should be the observation point and the personnel left behind.

Xia You and Xiao Xia stepped forward, and one of the men dressed as a captain saw them and quickly came over to greet them.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Xia You and Ms. Xiaoxia?" He asked this knowingly, though he had just received news that Xia You and Xiaoxia were coming, and headquarters had also sent photos of the two.

Therefore, he clearly knew that the man in front of him was no ordinary person and possessed strength that far surpassed theirs!

Seeing Xia You nod, the captain said directly, "That meteorite is at the bottom of a small lake not far ahead. Would you like us to take you there?"

"No need." Xia You shook her head. "There might be a battle going on, so just leave things to us. You just need to wait for me to contact you and then we can move the meteorite away."

"I understand. I wish you all the best. But that Deoxys is too strong. It has already injured many of our people. Please be careful."

Leaving the observation point, Xia You and Xiao Xia headed towards the small lake mentioned by the captain.

Upon arriving here, the two clearly sensed that something was amiss in the surrounding atmosphere.

Everything was too quiet.

Before the observation point, they could see wild Pokémon, but here, not only are there no traces of Pokémon, but their voices cannot be heard at all.

For once, Gengar emerged from Xia You's shadow on its own.

During this time, it was engrossed in comics and only occasionally showed up during mealtimes. To be honest, Xia You hadn't had a proper conversation with it in a long time.

Gengar was still holding a comic book, but its attention wasn't on it. Instead, it frowned and looked around, saying in surprise, "Something's not right here. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

“It should be the magnetic field,” Xia You said without hesitation. “Deoxys and its meteorite both have the ability to change the magnetic field, otherwise Zvoich wouldn’t have gone to such lengths and asked me for help.”

Looking up into the distance, one can see a clear lake nestled quietly among several forests, seemingly unremarkable.

Gengar stared at the spot for a long time: "Then you'd better be careful. I can sense a powerful force ahead. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that Deoxys. I've only felt this kind of power from two other Pokémon before..."

"Oh?" Xia You turned to look at it. "Who is it?"

"Mewtwo and Ho-Oh!"
