Chapter 135: If Rayquaza Thinks You Are an Invader, Then You Are an Invader

"Senior, are you alright?"

Nemona asked Zhu Lan cautiously.

Because Zhu Lan had been standing in place without making a sound for ten minutes, Nemona really found it hard to hold back.

She suddenly felt that the interpersonal relationships of Champions from other regions were all so subtle.

Champion Steven and Champion Lance are both excellent and outstanding, but just after the news broke, Champion Steven's father is now in prison.

And Champion Lance has a good friend who joined Team Rocket to become her enemy, and now the relationship has become so subtle.

Hmm, Champion Rika is still better; there aren't so many strange things.

"I'm fine, let's continue strolling, Nemona."

Zhu Lan came back to her senses, revealing a faint smile as she spoke to Nemona.

Although her mood was indeed very complex, she did not want to infect this lively and talented junior with her own pressure.

"Mm-hmm~ Senior Zhu Lan, they're selling ice cream over there, let's go buy one."

"Okay."

Nemona and Zhu Lan arrived in front of the ice cream stall.

And then...

Nemona, holding her third melting ice cream, looked at Zhu Lan who was still struggling over which flavor to choose, and couldn't help but show dead-fish eyes.

So Senior Zhu Lan is actually a patient with indecisiveness?

Time moved to the second day.

Mallow asked Caitlin to accompany Lillie to the shopping mall, while he himself used an urgent matter as an excuse to temporarily separate from the two women.

Lillie is a pure and clean Miss, and Mallow did not want to stain her with other colors for the time being.

Mallow arrived at Professor Rowan's laboratory alone again; under the psychic control of Mega Mewtwo Y, he easily opened the laboratory's main door.

Arriving at that ecological laboratory with practiced ease, Mallow saw Professor Rowan and Yuko again, conducting an experiment in an attempt to activate this Deoxys gem.

But obviously, it failed.

"Failed again? Is there really no way to revive it? That shouldn't be the case."

Professor Rowan was very confused; he wanted to study Deoxys's ecological habits, but the primary condition was naturally to revive this gem crystal, yet for four years, he had not succeeded once.

"Do you want me to give you a hand?"

A young and frivolous voice came.

"Who? Oh, it's you?"

Professor Rowan was stunned, turned his head to see Mallow leaning against the wall, and frowned.

"How did you get in?"

"Of course, I just walked in like this, Professor Rowan, no need to worry, I am here to assist you in reviving Deoxys."

Mallow walked into the research room and, acting very familiar, pulled a chair over to sit down.

"You..."

Professor Rowan's brows tightened; yesterday he felt this young man had a specific meaning, and now it was undoubtedly completely confirmed.

He actually knows about Deoxys!

"Do you know how to revive Deoxys?" But Professor Rowan also noticed this point.

"I don't have complete certainty, but I can try."

"What do you want to do by reviving Deoxys?"

Professor Rowan asked another question.

"Of course, power; Deoxys's power is not inferior to an ordinary Rayquaza, which you saw with your own eyes, Professor Rowan, correct?"

Mallow looked at Professor Rowan's expression turning ugly with a half-smile.

"Stop dreaming; if that is your only purpose, then please leave, I do not welcome you here."

Professor Rowan dismissed him without any courtesy; he indeed brought back the Deoxys meteorite crystal due to personal motives.

But he did not hope for Deoxys's power to be exploited by others, especially by someone like the fellow in front of him who looked sinister and ill-intentioned.

"Don't make such a reactive expression, as if I were some kind of bad person."

Mallow paid no attention at all, still crossing his legs with a leisurely demeanor.

"And Professor Rowan, haven't you heard a saying? It is easy to invite a god but hard to send him away; you want to drive me away, just based on you?" Mallow curled a disdainful arc at the corner of his mouth.

Although he wasn't exactly invited by Professor Rowan, but rather came uninvited.

"If you don't leave, I will call the phone and summon Officer Jenny!"

Professor Rowan's expression became even uglier.

"You have no sense at all." Mallow clicked his tongue, his expression still smiling.

"If I remember correctly, Professor Rowan, you also have a child who is not yet old, right?"

"You...! What do you want to do?!" Professor Rowan's expression changed drastically.

"If you do not cooperate properly, I cannot guarantee what I might do to your child."

"No! This is a crime!" Professor Rowan was very angry.

"I am originally from an evil organization; do you think I care about this?" Mallow was completely unscrupulous.

"..."

Professor Rowan gritted his teeth, his chest heaving constantly due to anger, while Yuko beside him also had a very worried expression.

"Fine! What do you want to do?"

But in the end, Professor Rowan still compromised; he dared not gamble with his child's safety, as Little Super was still so young.

"Of course, it's to awaken Deoxys."

Mamon stood up, looking at that green crystal gem.

"I can't do that." For the first time, Dr. Rendou didn't want to revive Deoxys.

"It doesn't matter. Just follow the normal procedure; I'll have Mewtwo cooperate with you."

Mamon glanced at Dr. Rendou.

"Don't think about pulling any stunts. I know where your child is."

This was a lie; Mamon didn't actually know where Dr. Rendou's son was, but the problem wasn't significant.

As long as this sentence could control Dr. Rendou, it would suffice.

Dr. Rendou glared at Mamon, this despicable scoundrel, but...

Dr. Rendou obediently walked to the experiment table and began operating; what else could he do but cooperate?

He could do nothing.

Under Dr. Rendou's control, the instruments in the laboratory began to operate, and a surge of energy constantly gathered.

At the same time, deep purple flames flowed in the eyes of Armored Mewtwo; it raised its arm, aiming at the green crystal, condensing immense psychic power.

Boom!

In the next instant, the machine's energy and Armored Mewtwo's psychic power simultaneously struck the green crystal, a dazzling light so bright it made one unable to open their eyes.

Time passed second by second. Mamon narrowed his eyes; he could see that within the energy, the green crystal finally reacted.

Around the crystal body, biological tissue constantly derived and deformed; a brand-new creature was rapidly forming.

Sizzle!

The glass vessel shattered completely, and the light gradually dimmed.

When the machine's energy dissipated and Armored Mewtwo ceased releasing its psychic power, a humanoid Pokémon stood clearly within the vessel.

Its appearance was very similar to an alien; its arms were two orange-blue tentacles, and a green crystal gem sat on its chest.

Deoxys! Awakened!

"It actually succeeded?!"

Dr. Rendou stared in shock at the awakened Deoxys, almost identical to the one he had seen four years ago.

But the difference was that four years ago, the one on its chest was a purple crystal gem, while this one before his eyes was green.

"Very good. It looks like its mental state is also quite good."

Mamon looked at this Deoxys with satisfaction, or rather, Deoxys Individual Two.

Deoxys lowered its head slightly, its gaze sweeping over the three people in the research room, finally resting on Armored Mewtwo.

The reason it fully awakened this time was mainly because this Pokémon's psychic power had been constantly infused to stimulate it; otherwise, although its consciousness was slightly awake, its body certainly could not have fully recovered.

Deoxys Individual Two nodded at Armored Mewtwo, expressing its gratitude.

"..." Armored Mewtwo remained silent and offered no response.

After expressing gratitude, Deoxys bent its knees slightly; it was preparing to leave.

"Are you going to find your companions?" Mamon roughly guessed its Intrusive Thoughts.

This Deoxys Individual Two had a fairly good personality; Deoxys Individual One actually also belonged to the good-tempered type.

However, to find its companions, it attacked Ralts City in the movie.

Deoxys nodded.

"Your companions probably haven't awakened yet. I don't recommend you do this; otherwise, you will only repeat your companions' fate." Mamon said to Deoxys Individual Two.

"?" Deoxys tilted its head in confusion.

"You and your companions are from outer space. To Rayquaza, you are all foreign species, and moreover, invaders not on the 'White List'."

Mamon explained in more detail.

Rayquaza is a legendary Pokémon with extremely strong territorial awareness; it regards the sky as its own territory.

And for creatures like Deoxys coming from the universe, Rayquaza is very hostile, especially since Deoxys's own power is so outstanding.

In this way, Deoxys was naturally marked by Rayquaza with the 'invader' blacklist label.

If Rayquaza didn't detect Deoxys's aura, it would be fine; once it detected Deoxys's aura, Rayquaza would absolutely arrive at the fastest speed.

Then eliminate these 'invaders from the universe'!

Deoxys Individual Two was even more bewildered. Invade? It didn't have such Intrusive Thoughts at all.

"Whether you have Intrusive Thoughts to invade isn't important; what matters is that Rayquaza thinks you do. In its eyes, you are an invader."

Mamon shrugged.

Many people highly admire and like Rayquaza, but in reality, as the overlord of the sky, the Rayquaza clan is extremely domineering.

In the movie, if it weren't for the two Deoxys putting aside past grievances to save the life of that Rayquaza submerged by robots, Rayquaza would not have accepted these two Deoxys.

Dragon-type Pokémon are mostly very irritable and tyrannical in temperament, especially legends like Rayquaza that are powerful and have no natural enemies.

Deoxys Individual Two shook its head; it didn't quite believe this human's words, especially since its desire to find its companions was too intense.

It couldn't wait even a moment.

Deoxys vanished from its spot and appeared on the roof of the research institute.

"Tsk~ It actually doesn't believe me."

Seeing this, Mamon couldn't help but laugh. This Deoxys is truly fearless of death.

But then again, when you've done nothing, someone tells you that a powerful figure wants to eliminate you because you are suspected of invasion.

It's normal for Deoxys Individual Two not to believe it; after all, it doesn't know what Deoxys Individual One experienced.

And at this moment, the Deoxys appearing on the roof of the research institute slowly closed its eyes, releasing its psychic power to the maximum extent.

It must first locate the direction of its companions.

"It's performing a sensing."

Mammon and Armored Mewtwo had also come outside the room, watching Deoxys's movements, and Armored Mewtwo spoke up.

Mammon glanced at the second Deoxys individual, then glanced at the clear blue sky.

"Mm, Rayquaza is coming."

Deoxys's behavior was no different from turning itself into a bright light bulb, afraid that the flying green caterpillar wouldn't notice it.
