Chapter 176

After choosing the location for restoration, Giratina hoped to add more indigenous people to the Inverted World to enrich the ecology here, but Xiang Guangtai was still studying the "cultivation craft" mentioned in the information.

He indeed mastered many cultivation methods—cultivating Grass Pokémon, cultivating Dragons, cultivating Ghosts, Fire, Electric... cultivating Rock, Steel... Although some are indirect cultivation and need the help of items, it is not an ability that can be used directly.

If you want to obtain that kind of superb single-attribute cultivation knowledge, it is highly probable that you need to obtain corresponding natural crystals or plates and other items to unlock it.

"Fossil Pokémon generally possess the Rock attribute, so the cultivation craft needed is actually 'Rock's Mystery'?"

This knowledge was originally used to manufacture artificial mines. Xiang Guangtai planned to use this knowledge near the Rock Pillar Ruins. He didn't expect to use it here first.

Feel the power of rock, strengthen all abilities related to the Rock attribute. Rock-type energy is not solid, but "slowly flowing time"...

With spiritual power as a medium, inject this secret power of rock into the several fossils in his hand. Afterwards, Xiang Guangtai faintly heard the rhythm of life.

The stones in his hand seemed to have truly come alive, and the time that the dust on them represented and had passed was also gradually retreating. This might be an illusion, or it might be that as a kind of "rock," its power was completely stimulated!

Xiang Guangtai threw those fossils that had been cultivated into the reverse waterfall.

Violent clones can bring down the Thunder of Wrath. This thunder contains huge energy, which is the vast power sufficient to make Pokémon transform into a "King"!

Surging power was injected into the reverse waterfall. The water of the Inverted World was filled with the energy of lightning. Those fossils soaked in the water flow of the waterfall and went against the current, welcoming the scouring of thunder.

This scene reminded Xiang Guangtai of the matter of the three legendary birds in the Orange Islands that he had seen in the anime.

Those three special individuals known as the God of Ice, God of Fire, and God of Thunder possessed the power to create life, but their creation methods were very violent. Articuno froze the ocean, Moltres melted it with fire, and Zapdos poured thunder into the boiling sea current, so the most basic life matter was born like this.

"In this way..." Xiang Guangtai rode on Giratina's head and took out the Legend Plate from his backpack.

Then let's piece it together and try?

Extract the genes of Pokémon from fossils and recombine them into Pokémon... Simply put, it is to activate the genes in the fossils, right.

Freezer—Articuno.

Fire—Moltres.

Thunder—Zapdos.

Xiang Guangtai used the Legend Plate to piece together the nouns of the three legendary birds. Three strange powers were displayed accordingly. Accompanied by the electric light of Giratina's Thunder of Wrath spreading into the reverse waterfall, that forever reversing waterfall suddenly began to freeze, then steamed with heat and melted, and finally, made the power of lightning boil and shine violently!

The huge energy of the Inverted World was attracted, accompanied by the violent vitality in the Thunder of Wrath, and blasted into those fossils all at once!

Afterwards, an incredible phenomenon happened!

Just like the "Omanyte resurrection" that once appeared in a certain episode of the anime, the body that had already fossilized suddenly became lustrous, and then faintly emitted a white light like when evolving!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Ancient Pokémon were stretching their bodies. Most Pokémon restored from fossils will not retain their original memories. Although there are exceptions like the Carracosta in the Special Manga, that is, after all, a very small number of individual cases.

Under the nervous gaze of Giratina and Xiang Guangtai, the first fossil Pokémon was "resurrected"!

"Om..."

That was a soft blue body with a round large spiral shell on its back, a pair of black and white distinct large eyes blinking cutely, and the tentacles on its body shaking softly, emitting a soft and sticky sound.

That is the sound of life being born for the first time.

"Omanyte!"

The ancient Pokémon corresponding to the Helix Fossil is Omanyte. This kind of Pokémon is also a "distinguished guest" that often appears in various fossil research institutes. Some of them have not even gone extinct from ancient times to modern times, hiding in the depths of the ocean, or living in large ecological systems that avoid the world like the Tree of Beginning, continuing to live in secret locations that no one knows.

And its natural enemy is Archeops, which is also a fossil Pokémon. Fortunately, Pokémon like Archeops do not exist in the region here.

The first Omanyte was restored, and immediately after, the second Omanyte also poked its head out of the water. They were washed to an inverted floating island by the reverse waterfall. Coming to this world for the first time, they seemed very panicked, especially since there was a dragon that looked very ferocious staring at them in the distance!

"Om!" In panic, the two Omanyte used Water Gun by instinct of resistance!

With two sizzles, the Water Gun hit Giratina's faceplate, giving it a face wash. Giratina shook its head. Those two Omanyte were suddenly panicked, scared and didn't know what to do, and actually directly "retracted into their shells," acting as ostriches on the spot and not moving, hoping that the weak shell could bring them some insignificant sense of security.

"Pokémon like Omanyte are very timid, but it's fine as long as you get familiar with them."

In the anime, the timidity of Omanyte has been reflected many times. Seeing strangers who do not meet their cognition, they will be afraid and run away or retract their shells. The boldest Omanyte is probably the one belonging to Yellow. After all, the personality of that one is "frank," and it didn't want to listen to Yellow's command at first, always running around everywhere.

In the white light, subsequent fossil Pokémon walked out one after another. The second batch to appear was Kabuto, restored from the Dome Fossil, with a brown hemispherical shell. The two black dots on the shell and the red dots under the body are its eyes, which look like a kind of absurd and funny feeling.

It molts every three days, making its shell harder and harder. And once it evolves, they will become the most ferocious hunters in the ancient ocean.

Compared to Omanyte, the Kabuto were a bit bolder. Looking at Giratina and Xiang Guangtai hanging in mid-air, or even in an "inverted" state, these Pokémon that had just been resurrected immediately whispered to each other.

Friend, enemy, or food?

For ancient Pokémon, there are only these three options in their brains, and sometimes, these three options may not necessarily be unable to become the same answer.

But Giratina's posture was too great, so they quickly confirmed that if they chose food... Sure enough, they were actually the food!

Following Kabuto, Lileep walked out, swaying and moving very slowly. They were restored from the Root Fossil and would use powerful suction cups to attach to the seabed rocks. No matter how stormy the waves were, they would not be washed away. But now, this reverse waterfall clearly did not count as a good "place to settle down."

And the last one to appear was Cranidos, restored from the Armor Fossil. Cranidos has a small, yellowish-brown body. The head is similar to a brown shield. But in fact, the steel that looks like a shield is actually its skin.

Unlike the other fossils that came in twos and threes, there was only one Cranidos, so it looked at the ancient Pokémon around it blankly. Those ancient Pokémon also stared at it with a scrutinizing posture, seemingly judging whether it was "delicious."

Looking at the ancient Pokémon below that had faint signs of fighting, Xiang Guangtai smiled at Giratina: "The ecological relationship between Pokémon is also very complex. Not all Pokémon can get along friendly. As the master of the Inverted World, all this needs to be reconciled by you."

Giratina was thoughtful. Although it had peeped at the real world from the mirror for a long time, it had not frequently and personally experienced that kind of cruel ecological competition, especially in the era of ancient Pokémon. At that time, Giratina did not have the ability to go to the real world and was almost firmly locked in the Inverted World.

"Then, let's divide their respective living areas..." Giratina pondered: "In the future, we can accept more fossil Pokémon, and no matter what their hunting habits are, they will always eat food like tree fruits."

"Transform a few floating islands near the reverse waterfall as temporary residences for these ancient Pokémon. Then first... bring rain and dew for Pokémon that like water flow, and bring sunshine for Pokémon that like the sun!"

Giratina raised its head, and brilliant light illuminated the dark Inverted World, bringing the first ray of light of the new era to these Pokémon from ancient times!
