Chapter 401: Am I the kind of despicable person who would interfere with a competition?

After exhausting every ounce of effort, Slaking finally defeated Regirock, which crumbled into dust and vanished, dropping a bead in the process.

"I can't go on; I need a rest, or Slaking will literally collapse from exhaustion!"

Rest was unavoidable; the Pokémon had simply flopped down, signaling it had no desire to move.

"Bring out the food!"

Long Yangyun promptly ordered a break so everyone could eat.

"Little friend, why did Regice and Regirock turn into stone statues and vanish?"

"They probably weren't real to begin with."

"What do you mean?"

"It must be the life Unown bestowed upon them!"

"So they aren't true Legendary Pokémon?"

"No, they were real, merely created temporarily by the Unown."

"What was their purpose?"

"How would I know?"

"What exactly are these Unown? How much do you know about them?"

Bai Jing shook his head. "I only know they possess incredible power; beyond that, I truly don't know."

"What a pity. If only we could study them; I feel they hold even greater value than Legendary Pokémon!"

"Don't dwell on them. There are countless unsolved mysteries among Pokémon; you couldn't finish researching them in a lifetime."

"Sigh~"

That is how scientists are; they are filled with curiosity about the unknown.

"By the way, Doctor, I have some questions regarding the Guandong Secret Realm, the Game Island Secret Realm, and the Grass-type Secret Realm!"

"I know. Your school has obtained a precious opportunity for training."

"Yes. Which Legendary Pokémon guard these three Secret Realms?"

"I actually do know this one. The Guandong Secret Realm is guarded by Mew, the Game Island Secret Realm by Deoxys, and the Grass-type Secret Realm by Celebi."

Bai Jing was somewhat surprised. That the Guandong Secret Realm was guarded by Mew was no shock, but that the Game Island was guarded by Deoxys, this cosmic Pokémon, was unexpected; he had thought it would be Lugia, after all, that belonged to the domain of the sea.

That the Grass-type Secret Realm was guarded by Celebi made sense; it was the Forest God, after all.

"Besides them, are there other Legendary Pokémon inside?"

"I don't know that, but there are rumors that someone on Game Island has seen Moltres and Articuno."

"I see..."

"Well? Have you decided which Secret Realm to visit for training?"

"Not yet. If possible, I would like to see if I can encounter them."

"Doctor, do you have any advice?"

"Advice, hmm... I suggest you go to Game Island. There are many fun activities there that can strengthen the bond between Trainer and Pokémon; it is a wonderful place to relax."

"Game Island, huh? That works!"

Seeking out Deoxys was fine, and perhaps he might even encounter Moltres or Articuno.

Legendary Pokémon are not unique; they all have populations, and some of those populations are quite vast.

We cannot defeat a fully grown Legendary Pokémon, but what if we encounter one that has only just been born?
