Chapter 567 Deoxys: Hmm, can we make peace...?

Chapter 567 Deoxys: Hmm, can we make peace...?

Time quickly came to June 16th.

After completely resolving the conflict between the two Hoenn idiots and sending them back to their respective territories to rest, Hoenn now only faces its final major crisis—a giant meteorite falling from the sky once every thousand years!

Green Ridge City, Rocket Launch Center.

In the control room on the second floor, a group of researchers in white lab coats were busy at their workstations.

The giant display screen shows a composite lens formed by telescopes from various locations, all focused on a seemingly insignificant meteorite in the universe.

"Hurry, we don't have much time!"

Hoenn Champion Steven, dressed in a black suit, anxiously awaited the researchers' calculations of the meteorite's precise trajectory and landing coordinates.

Compared to the universe, even the largest meteorite is probably just a speck of dust.

-

But if the frame of reference is Earth—

According to researchers' calculations, given the size of that meteorite, it could have pierced through the entire Hoenn region upon impact, and even affected the entire Earth.

After all, a similar meteorite impact is said to have occurred during the ancient period, which directly caused a major change in the Earth's crust, the extinction of countless ancient organisms, and their fossilization.

These are the fossil Pokémon that have been restored by machines.

Because of Rayquaza's existence, all of humanity's attempts to break through the sky and go to the universe have ended in failure.

From very early times, the Hoenn people knew that meteorites would fall from the sky from time to time, and they discovered that there was a vast universe beyond this planet.

However, they couldn't get out—

Rayquaza will work with humanity to resolve the meteorite crisis from space, while also preventing humanity from exploring the universe beyond our planet.

This is both a limitation and a protection left by Arceus.

If they can't even leave Earth, the outside world is obviously too dangerous for them.

Beyond the universe, there may exist other, even more powerful and dangerous Pokémon, waiting for humans to venture into space.

This is the conclusion reached by Devon Corporation after years of research on superenergy.

But human beings' thirst for knowledge is endless. Once they know that there is a wider world outside, it will naturally arouse their irrepressible curiosity.

That's why this rocket launch center came into being.

Daigo turned his gaze to the large screen and, after observing from multiple dimensions that the meteorite had been captured by Earth's gravity and was rapidly approaching Earth, he couldn't help but sigh.

I never imagined that before even witnessing the beauty of the universe, I would first have to endure an impact from beyond Earth.

However, it at least proves that the technology that humanity uses to advance into space is meaningful.

"Beep beep beep—"

'

"It has been confirmed that Black Rayquaza and Mr. Blue Feather are in the stratosphere together, attempting to traverse the atmosphere and travel into space!"

The computers in front of the researchers simultaneously issued alarms, and Daigo immediately turned around.

"Project the image!"

At the president's son's command, the researchers immediately sprang into action.

Soon the images captured by the instrument appeared on the big screen, taking up the entire screen.

The black Rayquaza was currently taking off at full speed, unleashing powerful air currents in the air, and forming bullet-shaped air barriers around its streamlined body, dispersing all the atmosphere caused by friction.

On its imposing dragon head, a clumsy figure dressed in a white spacesuit with his face completely covered by a mask sat atop it. The intense friction with the air almost caused his body to spark, but the sparks were quickly extinguished.

Upon seeing this, Daigo immediately clasped his hands together, his expression extremely serious.

Even if you can't see their faces, there's only one person who can sit on the head of the Black Sky Thrill.

Qingyu is really brave!

Wearing only a spacesuit, he dares to use his physical body to break through Earth's gravity; his current speed has probably already surpassed the second cosmic velocity.

If the spacesuit is not of high quality, even the slightest problem could have unimaginable consequences.

No, we can't think about these things now!

Daigo shook his head.

We should have complete faith in Devon's technology.

Moreover, with Qingyu's abilities, he must have already come up with a foolproof plan!

"Black Rayquaza has broken through the atmosphere and officially left Earth!"

A few seconds later, the researchers who had been watching closely exclaimed again.

"And our Hoenn Rayquaza is right behind them!"

"They successfully entered space!"

"This is the first step in human history! The first time humans have set foot on that completely unknown part of space!"

Daigo could completely understand the researchers' excitement.

but----

Now is not the time to be happy.

This title of "first" also means an overwhelming responsibility.

If being "number one" in a small region on Earth is already like this, then being "number one" outside the universe like Qingyu must be even more suffocating.

Thinking of this, Daigo held his breath and focused all his attention on the big screen, watching the two Rayquaza slowly approach the colossal meteorite.

I'm counting on you, Qingyu!

Sitting atop the Sky Throat, Qingyu's head was filled with the intense vibrations from the friction between his body and the atmosphere, making his head buzz.

But at a certain moment, the sound disappeared almost instantly, leaving only silence in my ears.

It was as if the whole world had suddenly been muted.

Qingyu raised his head, and his vision, no longer disturbed by speed, was indeed much clearer. He could now clearly see a vast expanse of the universe.

In the distance, countless luminous stars converged into a sea of ​​stars, magnifying the moon's light countless times.

So this is what it feels like in the universe —

Qingyu turned her head and looked down at the familiar blue planet.

It is indeed spectacular from today's perspective, but Earth is almost insignificant in the universe.

Although according to the Pokémon universe's view, this world was created by Arceus, and Earth is the center of the universe —

But Qingyu always felt that Arceus couldn't possibly completely ignore such a vast world beyond the universe, could he?

For example, a meteorite that happens to fall in Hoenn every thousand years and deliver super energy to Earth can't possibly be just a coincidence of natural processes.

The legendary Pokémon from the Sun & Moon series also come from the universe, and those Ultra Beasts may also be connected to the universe.

Qingyu sighed.

Since there was no official endorsement, Arceus certainly wouldn't have told him these things, so it was all just his own speculation.

There are still so many unknowns in the Pokémon world. Even on Earth, there are many regions that have not yet joined the Pokémon League, let alone the world outside of Earth.

If I hadn't traveled through time, waiting for the Pokémon series to explore the universe would probably be a lifetime project.

However, the most important thing now is that meteorite!

Led by the black Rayquaza, Qingyu quickly traversed countless meteorites and gradually approached the huge seven-colored meteorite.

At first, it didn't seem that exaggerated, but as he got closer, he realized that this thing was indeed very scary.

Upon closer inspection, it almost completely obscured the view in front of it, emitting a hazy light from which a powerful and wild super energy emanated.

This is his ultimate goal in coming to the universe!

"Prepare for Mega Evolution, then use Draco Meteor to blast it apart, Rayquaza."

Qingyu immediately spoke up.

Although the black Rayquaza has never actively communicated with him, it can still understand him through telepathy, just like the Rayquaza in Hoenn.

In theory, Rayquaza should use the finishing touch, which would be more in line with Mega Rayquaza's fighting style.

But looking at the enormous meteorite that stretched as far as the eye could see, Qingyu felt that it would probably hurt a lot to smash it with his body, so there was no need for it.

"roar--!"

Black Rayquaza let out a powerful roar first, and immediately its body shone with countless golden rays.

Even in a vacuum, Qingyu, sitting right on its head, could still hear its voice.

In the blink of an eye, it had completed its Mega Evolution, and the black and gold patterns that had been wrapped around its body came to life and drifted freely in the universe.

The Hoenn Rayquaza, following closely behind, also let out a roar.

The meteorite fragment Qingyu was holding suddenly trembled twice, heated up slightly, and then stood up.

Even after Black Rayquaza "guided" it for so long, Hoenn Rayquaza still doesn't seem to be able to complete its Mega Evolution entirely on its own.

But it doesn't matter!

"There are two more Rayquaza like this, they're about to go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, both of his Sky-Siding mounts simultaneously gathered their power, their Heavenly Emperor organs shining with golden light, and their violent dragon power surging through the universe!

However, at this moment—

Suddenly, a powerful force erupted from the surface of the seven-colored meteorite, and a dazzling white light shot straight towards the direction where Qingyu and the black Liekongzuo were.

"Rayquaza, get out of the way!"

After Qingyu spoke, the two Rayquaza reacted quickly, using their agility to easily dodge the beams of light that were attacking them.

Subsequently, two terrifyingly powerful dragon star clusters formed and flew together toward the direction from which the light was coming!

"Boom—"

—

Theoretically, sound should not be able to travel through the universe.

But as Qingyu looked at the massive meteorite that had been struck by the Dragon Star Cluster and suddenly shattered into pieces, he hallucinated a series of booming sounds.

It worked!

Qingyu nodded excitedly.

As long as the meteorite is not too large, it will be consumed by the intense friction of the air as it passes through the atmosphere, and will only have a negligible weight when it finally lands.

It should no longer pose a threat to Earth.

However, just to be on the safe side, it's best to smash the larger fragments into pieces as well.

Just as Qingyu was about to speak, she suddenly noticed a strange figure inside one of the large meteorites.

It was a black triangular crystal, which did not seem to have the same structure as a meteorite, but rather seemed to have been forcibly embedded in it for some reason.

What he found even more bizarre was—

The crystal was actually shaking, and its surface color was changing rapidly, quickly shifting from black to deep red.

It's as if it has a life of its own.

Qingyu recognized it at first glance: a cosmic virus, Deoxys!

As the crystal emitted a white light, the gradually activated Deoxys finally stretched out its body, revealing its true form.

His entire body was a vibrant orange-red, exuding a high-tech feel. His arms were intertwined like a DNA double helix, and a pale purple core on his chest glowed faintly. When he looked up, his eyes were incredibly fierce.

Information about it surfaced in Qingyu's mind.

Deoxys is a viral DNA mutated by cosmic radiation. It has multiple variant forms and extremely high intelligence, and it can even use meteorites as a protective layer to sneak into Earth.

Rayquaza wields the power of the sky, and part of its duty is to prevent dangerous space Pokémon like itself from entering Earth.

The one that suddenly unleashed energy to try and stop Rayquaza was probably it too.

"roar--!"

So the moment it saw it, Hoenn Rayquaza instinctively roared at it, trying to scare it away.

However, its actions were actually somewhat unnecessary.

Deoxys seemed to be stunned when he looked up and saw two Mega Rayquazas, one black and one green, flying in front of him.

It was already in a daze when it was forcibly awakened by external forces, and then it encountered the most dreaded enemy.

And there are two more!

How can we play like this?

Deoxys was intelligent, so it instinctively cowered and did not want to directly clash with the two Rayquaza.

It then looked around and found that the meteorite that served as its protective shell had also been completely destroyed, leaving it with nowhere to hide.

Deoxys was clearly starting to panic.

Sigh, is it possible to reconcile?

Before Qingyu and Black Rayquaza could react, its form suddenly shifted, transforming into the "Speed ​​Form" Qingyu remembered, and vanished in the opposite direction from Earth.

If it weren't for the spacesuit, Qingyu would have been scratching his head in confusion.

This guy, is he really this cowardly?

I thought I would finally be able to command Black Rayquaza up close and fight alongside it against a powerful enemy.

It's a real shame; such opportunities seem to be becoming increasingly rare.

Qingyu shook his head, preparing to direct the black Rayquaza to carry out the final cleanup work, smashing all the remaining large pieces of meteorite.

But then, he suddenly realized something was wrong!

Isn't the sunlight a bit too dazzling?

Sensing that the universe was suddenly being baptized by light pollution, and that it was even getting worse, Qingyu squinted and glanced in the direction of the sun.

The sun still floats in the distant sea of ​​stars, unchanged.

But Qingyu's feelings were also fine.

A golden lion, radiating light, appeared before him, charging toward his location.

On the other side, in the direction of the moon, a bat-like Pokémon also appeared, its form almost completely hidden in the darkness of space.

Qingyu blinked.

This universe is much more lively than I imagined.

Even Solgaleo and Lunala have appeared?

During her brief stay in Alola, Aoba had seen these two deities, symbolizing the sun and the moon, in her dreams.

But this was actually the first time we met in person.

but----

Judging from their movements, they don't seem to be coming to greet me; they seem more like they're running away.

Qingyu subconsciously thought this, then suddenly realized what was happening and alarm bells immediately went off in her mind.

Holy crap, there must only be one thing in the entire universe that could make them this panicked —

That incredibly prestigious and radiant being from the universe.

Necrozma!
