Chapter 623 The Selection of Those to Follow Deoxys
Li Luochen and Daigo exchanged a glance, and almost at the same moment, they thought of the same name.
All the seasoned trainers present who were familiar with the legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn region unanimously came to the same conclusion.
A giant green dragon intercepts visitors from outer space.
Aside from Rayquaza, there are no other Pokémon.
This ruler of the skies roams the ozone layer year-round, showing no mercy to any intruders who dare to trespass on the planet's airspace without permission.
Moreover, the Sky-Siege feeds on meteorites, and for it, meteorites falling from the sky are just an ordinary snack on its menu.
Deoxys's kin arrived on this planet in the form of meteorites, which, in Rayquaza's eyes, were probably no different from a takeout meal wrapped in a shell.
It may not have been targeting the Deoxys; it may have simply intercepted the meteorite while on a routine feeding, inadvertently altering the fate of the cosmic visitor.
Daigo hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and asked again in his usual calm and polite tone, "So, Deoxys, is there any information left to be found regarding your kinsman?"
Deoxys's telepathic message echoed in everyone's minds: "It's gone."
"I only know that it is still on this planet, but I have no way of knowing exactly where it is."
"Our group's communication signals are subject to some kind of strong interference when passing through the planet's atmosphere."
"Since then, I have completely lost its coordinates."
Daigo was caught in a dilemma.
Deochis provided far too limited information.
All they know is that their kind is still in the Hoenn region, but there are no coordinates or clues to locate them.
The Hoenn region is neither very large nor very small. Finding a space Pokémon that deliberately hides its tracks in the vast sea of people and wilderness is like finding a needle in a haystack.
After frowning, Daigo decided to ask the other party about their purpose first.
He looked up at Deoxys again, his tone cautious: "So, Deoxys, what are your plans next?"
Deochis's eyes flickered slightly, and without the slightest hesitation, he answered telepathically: "My idea is simple, which is to find my people."
"And we must find it as soon as possible. Otherwise, my rest of our kind will keep coming along this path."
"They will all reach this planet with the help of meteorites, just like me, just like it."
"At that time, you will no longer be facing a single meteorite, nor a lost Deoxys, but a continuous, unpredictable wave of meteorites."
Everyone present felt a sinking feeling in their hearts at the same time.
One Deoxys, a Celestial-level vanguard, is already enough to make people nervous. If more of its kind were to arrive one after another, each accompanied by a meteorite, the scene would be unimaginable.
More importantly, the Deoxys in front of us is quite restrained and friendly.
Instead of retaliating in a rage after the meteorite was shattered, and showing no hostility towards the attack from Primal Groudon, it politely introduced itself and patiently explained its purpose.
If it had been a different, less friendly Deoxys instead, or worse, a group of hostile members of its own kind, this dialogue would likely have escalated into a catastrophic, all-out conflict...
Deoxys seemed to sense the heavy pressure on the hearts of the humans present, and that calm telepathic connection sounded again, his tone still unhurried and composed.
"There's no need to worry too much."
"As long as I can move freely within the boundaries of this planet and travel around the Hoenn region, I will naturally be able to recapture the location signals emitted by my kind; it just will take some time."
Daigo frowned slightly and asked, "Approximately how long will it take?"
Deochis replied, "It's hard to say. Maybe a day, maybe a year, maybe longer."
"The signal interference is more severe than expected. I need to check each area one by one to pinpoint the exact location."
Daigo didn't press the matter further, silently lowering his eyelashes as he rapidly weighed the options in his mind.
Deochis's request sounded reasonable.
It only wants to find its own kind and then leave, without causing any additional burden to the planet.
The problem is that there are just too many uncertainties involved.
Deoxys is an unknown species from outer space. No one really knows the upper limit of its abilities, its movements are unpredictable, and there is no way to verify whether what it says is entirely true.
Allowing a Pokémon with telepathic abilities and the capacity to travel through interstellar space using meteorites to roam freely in the Hoenn region is tantamount to handing over an uncontrollable key to a stranger.
What if it changes its mind after finding its own kind?
What if the gathering of more generations of Oqisis triggers unpredictable chain reactions?
As the champion of the Hoenn League, he must be responsible for every inch of land and every resident of the Hoenn region.
Li Luochen noticed the lingering seriousness between Daigo's brows, and after a moment's thought, he understood what Daigo was worried about. He then reached out and gently patted Daigo on the shoulder: "Alright, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on this Deoxys for you."
Daigo paused for a moment, then turned around and smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "How could I possibly ask you to do this? The meteorite incident has already troubled you enough; it would be too much to ask you to keep an eye on it for me."
"What's wrong with that? We're all brothers."
Li Luochen withdrew his hand, put it back in his pocket, and looked at Deoxys, which was hovering quietly in mid-air: "Besides, I originally planned to stay in the Hoenn region for a while longer. Higanbana's special training is not over yet, and I'm quite comfortable staying at the villa. I'm not in a hurry to leave anytime soon."
"It's a good time to take advantage of this period. Maybe we can run into its kin and deal with them together then, so you won't have to live in fear every day."
Daigo opened his mouth, wanting to say something more to decline, but the words caught in his throat and he swallowed them back.
He looked around. The Alliance's top officials each had their own responsibilities, and the researchers at the Green Ridge Space Center were busy analyzing data from meteorite fragments.
I also need to go to various mines to test the geology and collect stone samples.
After all things considered, Li Luochen is currently the most idle person. He has enough strength to deal with any possible emergencies, and he also plans to stay in the Hoenn region for a while longer.
Both emotionally and rationally, he is the most suitable candidate.
Daigo smiled helplessly and finally relented: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
"All your expenses in the Hoenn region during this time, whether it's accommodation, supplies or anything else, are all on me. Don't be shy."
