Chapter 124: Xio Bartholomew Kuma Nana [Seeking Subscriptions and Tickets]
"That is!?"
Rika immediately noticed the figure appearing at the entrance of the Burial Tower cave.
Squinting her eyes to take a closer look, Rika discovered it was a girl about her age, wearing a cloak similar in style to Drake's, with a unique symbol printed on it, and possessing a neutral, heroic demeanor.
In the next second, the girl leaped and landed on the head of Rayquaza, who was visibly weakening under the siege of a hundred elite trainers.
"Is she... Rayquaza's trainer?!"
Rika was surprised, and a guess surfaced in her mind.
But Rika immediately felt something was off.
If Rayquaza really had a trainer, wouldn't Devon Corporation's current behavior be... outright robbery?!
"Rayquaza! MEGA Evolve!"
Before Rika could think further, the girl slightly bent her knees and touched a gem on the anklet of her right foot with her left hand.
Mega Evolution?
Hearing this word, not only Rika but also the many trainers below were stunned.
In the next instant, the previously disadvantaged Rayquaza roared to the sky, its dragon's roar shaking the heavens.
At the same time, the gem on the girl's anklet and Rayquaza's body both surged with a seven-colored holy light.
Immediately afterward, the two resonated and merged together.
"What is that again!?"
Rika was shocked; she had seen too many unexpected things today!
Sheng Su pulled Rika's hand and stood further away.
He had already guessed what was happening.
But because of this, they should stay away.
Not to mention that being caught up in such a high-level battle would have unimaginable consequences, being discovered by Devon Corporation to have witnessed the before and after of their actions would also bring endless troubles.
Soon, in the seven-colored holy light, everyone clearly saw that the Sky Dragon's size and outline had expanded more than one level compared to just now.
Finally, the seven-colored light of evolution dissipated, and a completely new form of Rayquaza appeared before everyone.
The slender dragon body possessed more characteristics of an Eastern dragon, and two golden ripples hung down from both sides of its cheeks like dragon whiskers, overlooking the enemies below from a high position.
Gorgeous! Overbearing!
"Can legends actually evolve?"
Rika said subconsciously.
But immediately recalled the girl's action of reaching out and touching the gem.
Could there be some connection between the two?
However, Zuvuki Mikuri, sensing the amazing energy of Mega Rayquaza, didn't plan to give up and waved his hand, shouting two words—"Continue!"
Although many Ice-type Pokémon below were panicking, just as Sheng Su had said before.
Pokémon will give everything for their masters.
Glalie, Abomasnow, Mamoswine...
Many Ice-type Pokémon opened their mouths and released Ice Beam.
Countless cold breath rays converged in mid-air, forming a super-sized plus version of Ice Beam and shooting towards Mega Rayquaza.
"Roar～"
After Mega Evolution, the larger and more slender Mega Rayquaza twisted its body.
Its body approached the super-sized Ice Beam while circling it like a spring.
Immediately afterward, Qing Yan ignited at the tail of Mega Rayquaza.
Dragon Tail!
The dragon's tail swept out.
Countless Ice-type Pokémon were swept dozens of meters into the air, just like baseballs hit by a bat!
The huge gap between volume and power reminded Sheng Su of Madara opening Susanoo to fight the Allied Shinobi Forces in the Ninja World War.
"Go!"
Under the president's order, other Electric-type Pokémon around, Raichu, Ampharos, etc., swarmed up.
They tightly hugged Mega Rayquaza's neck, tail, back, and other parts, releasing electrical attacks at zero distance.
However, not understanding Mega Rayquaza's characteristics, they didn't know that electricity was not painful or itchy for the current Sky Dragon.
"Aren't you letting us go at all?"
The cloaked girl standing on top of Mega Rayquaza's head gritted her teeth secretly.
Mega Rayquaza's claws burst out with blue-purple dragon energy, grabbing those Electric-type Pokémon.
He was also provoked!
Without holding back, these Pokémon were no match for Mega Rayquaza.
One by one, they were slashed by dragon claws, dripping with blood, and the more serious ones were even disemboweled!
Although Pokémon are very resistant to beatings, especially in the child-friendly version of the animation.
Basically, you never see Pokémon bleeding.
But there is a limit to that!
Now they are facing Mega Rayquaza, which belongs to the top tier of the first-level gods!
"Rayquaza! Calm down!"
The cloaked girl shouted.
Seeing those Pokémon beaten bloody by Mega Rayquaza, her face turned pale instantly.
In the end, it was their trainers who gave the orders; the Pokémon themselves were innocent.
Hearing the trainer's shout, Mega Rayquaza's movements stagnated.
And in this instant, Zuvuki Mikuri shouted: "Use 'Flower'!"
Flower?
Hearing Zuvuki Mikuri's words, Rika was once again puzzled.
What the hell is "Flower"?
The trainers on the right side of the Burial Tower all stepped aside.
Hidden behind was a large transport truck similar in style to Optimus Prime.
With Zuvuki Mikuri's order, the carriage at the rear of the truck opened by itself.
Revealed was a cannon-shaped weapon that seemed to have been pulled from an Ultraman set.
Zuvuki Mikuri said in a deep voice: "Our Devon Corporation has developed a secret weapon through the study of infinite energy, which can奪take the life energy of the target, as long as we use this..."
"Flower! Fire!"
A researcher in a white coat sitting in the passenger seat of the truck shouted and pressed the red button on the dashboard.
The barrel of "Flower" accumulated seven-colored rainbow light, which was exactly the same as the light emitted by Rayquaza during Mega Evolution just now.
"Rayquaza! Dodge quickly!"
The cloaked girl waved and shouted.
Mega Rayquaza narrowed his eyes.
He wasn't afraid of attacks of this speed at all.
However, just as Mega Rayquaza was about to dodge sideways.
Suddenly, he found his body stiffened.
Looking down, he found that those Pokémon that he had knocked to the ground were crawling up with their last breath, clinging to his tail!
These guys!?
The dragon pupils in Mega Rayquaza's eyes shrank.
Among these Pokémon, many of them were injured by his attacks, and the bones in the broken openings were looming; they dared to stop him!?
For the sake of humans, you actually did this!?
If it were normal, Rayquaza would have been too lazy to care about the life and death of these idiots.
He would have killed them all with a dragon tail.
But seeing their expressions of seeing death as home, at the most critical moment, the Sky Dragon hesitated.
However, with such a hesitation.
In an instant, the seven-colored laser cannon hit Mega Rayquaza.
This was not an attack with terrifying destructive power.
But Mega Rayquaza, who was hit, was as if his essence had been sucked dry, and he visibly became tired.
His body also changed from Mega form back to its daily appearance!
"No! Rayquaza!"
The cloaked girl's face changed drastically, and in one breath, she threw out all the Poké Balls on her belt.
"Everyone, destroy that device!"
Noivern, Kommo-o, Hydreigon, Kingdra, Altaria, Flygon, six dragons swarmed up and rushed towards the "Flower" turret behind the truck.
"Block them!"
Zuvuki Mikuri shouted.
"Blizzard!"
The Ice Squad, which was originally the main attacker, immediately had their Ice-type Pokémon turn their guns and besiege the dragons sent by the cloaked girl.
The six dragons were not vegetarians either.
They immediately released Flamethrower, Dragon Pulse, and other moves to resist.
Because Rayquaza had just killed more than half of Devon Corporation's Pokémon, the remaining people couldn't take down these few dragons for a while.
At this time, a trainer noticed the cloaked girl on top of Rayquaza's head.
"Skarmory! Go and kill that little girl!"
Skarmory, jumping out of the Poké Ball, had its wings shining with metallic white light and flew away quickly.
It's Steel Wing!
With rapidly weakening strength, Rayquaza, who could barely protect himself, obviously had no extra power to protect his partner.
And the six dragons were also distracted for a moment because they witnessed their master being trapped.
Noivern immediately turned back and chased Skarmory, wanting to rescue its master.
However, lacking a teammate, the remaining five dragons immediately fell into a disadvantage, not to mention that they were distracted just now.
Blizzard instantly broke through the obstruction of Flamethrower and shot down the five dragons from high altitude.
However, those Devon Corporation trainers were still not at ease and ordered their Pokémon to pursue and kill.
On the other side, seeing that Skarmory's Steel Wing was about to slash on the cloaked girl.
Noivern finally caught up at the critical moment and bit Skarmory's neck hard from behind with a "Rage Fang".
"Gah!"
Skarmory screamed in pain, its body staggered and lost balance, and the attack also deviated from its original trajectory.
But even so, the sharp corners of the Steel Wing still cut into the girl's shoulder.
"Ugh ah ah ah——"
The girl's screams resounded through the night sky.
Two seconds later, the girl fell to the ground from high altitude.
In the next second, a left arm landed beside her.
Not only that, but Skarmory's blade also cut through her abdominal cavity after cutting off her left arm.
Blood splattered all over the ground, and the incision on her side waist almost cut her entire body in half!
"Woo woo woo～"
Rayquaza also let out a wail and fell powerlessly.
In the last moment of passing out, he took in the tragic appearance of his partner...
"Squeak roar roar roar——!"
Noivern quickly landed beside the girl, and seeing its master in such a tragic state, it let out a compassionate wail.
"Don't, don't worry about me... Noivern..."
The girl barely lifted her head, holding on to her last breath and said:
"Quick... quickly take my... anklet... back, back... tell, tell everyone..."
After speaking, the girl tilted her head and completely lost her voice.
"Woo woo woo..."
Noivern was in tears, enduring the grief in its heart, took off the anklet inlaid with a Key Stone on the girl's right leg, and quickly took off.
"Don't let her run!"
The trainers of Devon Corporation hurriedly called out Flying-type Pokémon to pursue.
And the girl's remaining five dragons did their best to act as a barrier to resist the pursuers, at the cost of their lives!
Zuvuki Mikuri's attention was completely on the unconscious Rayquaza.
"Load Rayquaza into the car!"
Under the president's order.
Devon Corporation employees hurriedly drove another "Optimus Prime", and a dozen Machokes swarmed up to carry the unconscious Rayquaza into the carriage.
"President, what about this guy? Should we destroy it?"
A subordinate pointed to the girl's body and asked Zuvuki Mikuri for instructions.
"...Leave it to you."
Zuvuki Mikuri pondered slightly and nodded in agreement, then got into the passenger seat of the truck loaded with Rayquaza and left with most of his subordinates.
There were still many things to do afterward.
...
The remaining dozen Devon Corporation employees began to clean up the battlefield.
Not only the girl who controlled Rayquaza had to be destroyed, but also her five dragons.
"Just burn it directly."
One of the male staff, who should be in management, looked down at the girl's body coldly.
Speaking, the man released a Magcargo.
"Use Flamethrower..."
Halfway through his words, the man suddenly felt a sharp pain in his throat.
Looking down, he found a golden spike inserted in the center of his neck.
This is... Pin Missile!
"Make it clean."
A cold voice sounded in the ears of the dozen people who stayed behind to destroy the body and destroy the traces.
A Jolteon, a Houndoom, and an Exeggutor.
Jumped out from nowhere.
...
...
Ten minutes later.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Rika felt no waves in her heart and sneered:
"The true face of President Zuvuki, who has always shown himself as a good old man, is actually like this. Ordinary people are really being fooled by these capitalists."
"Human nature is a complex thing, not to mention that the temptation of Rayquaza is too great."
Sheng Su did not comment on this.
Objectively speaking, Dago's father is indeed not a bad person.
But there is no way, the temptation of the top legend is not something that ordinary people can resist.
Sheng Su, who used to go to the pleasure street for a drink in his previous life, believes that he has a good personality, but if Hancock is lying in front of him with her eyes rolled back and making a scissor hand.
Sheng Su said that he also wanted to challenge his weakness.
"Hey, you guys only called me when such a wonderful thing was about to end. Do you consider me as family?"
Kazuki complained.
"Stop talking nonsense, go and see the condition of that girl's Pokémon."
Sheng Su pointed to the five half-dead dragons of the girl in the distance.
Sheng Su himself turned the girl over to face up and helped her with emergency treatment.
"Uh..."
Even Rika, who had been by Sheng Su's side for more than two years and had seen big scenes, turned green when she saw this scene, and a strong sense of nausea surged into her throat.
The internal organs are flowing out...
"It can't be saved, at least in a general way."
Sheng Su muttered to himself in a low voice.
Urgent footsteps came, and Kazuki trotted over and shouted:
"Sheng, except for an Altaria and a Flygon who are still holding on to their last breath, the other three are already... uh, no, they are completely out of breath."
Sheng Su pondered slightly and said, "Move those three dead dragons over."
"Ah?"
Yishu didn't understand what Su Sheng was trying to do. Shouldn't he be saving the two that were still alive? Why move the dead ones over?
......
Zhanlan City, seaside cottage.
For an entire night, Su Sheng and the others didn't sleep at all.
Exhausted physically and mentally, Lihua and Yishu waited outside the operating room door.
When the indicator light on the door frame turned from red to green, and Su Sheng and Bewear still didn't come out.
The two of them became increasingly nervous.
"Could something have happened?"
Lihua quickly got up and pushed open the door.
Fortunately, the crisis she imagined hadn't occurred.
But the scene in the operating room still frightened Lihua and Yishu behind her.
Su Sheng, wearing a white coat and covered in sweat, and Bewear, looked exhausted as they sat on the ground.
On the operating table were the remains of Bastiodon, Hydreigon, and Kingdra.
But their remains were all more or less incomplete.
And in the corner of the operating room was the same type of medicinal liquid healing pod that Kakarot used on Namek.
Soaked inside was the girl who controlled Rayquaza.
Her left shoulder's severed end was attached to Bastiodon's arm.
The incision on her side waist had been stitched up, but the scar was surrounded by blue and black dragon scales.
Lihua and Yishu recognized them at a glance.
They were Kingdra and Hydreigon's dragon scales!
"A Sheng, she..."
Yishu pointed at the girl in the medicinal pod, preparing to speak, but was stopped by Lihua.
"Let him rest well."
Reminded by Lihua, Yishu realized that Su Sheng, who was sitting against the wall, had already lowered his head and fallen asleep.
Lihua took a quilt and covered Su Sheng, sitting beside him and turning her head away.
Yishu simply fell asleep on the chair outside the door, sprawled out.
Not knowing how long had passed, Su Sheng was the first to wake up.
Looking at Lihua leaning on his shoulder.
Su Sheng rubbed his eyes, picked her up in a princess carry, and placed her on the sofa in the living room.
Su Sheng walked to the nutrient pod, separated by the transparent glass cover, and said to the girl still in deep sleep inside:
"Although it has already been successfully modified on Bartholomew Kuma, transplanting Pokémon organs into humans is still a first."
"Whether you can survive it depends on your luck."
Su Sheng already knew the girl's identity - a member of the Meteor Village, the inheritor, Xijiana!
Although she hasn't officially appeared in the manga and games.
But without a doubt, she is a champion-level trainer, and even considered quite excellent among champion-level trainers.
Compared to her cousin Xigana, who was rejected by Rayquaza, Xijiana is the true inheritor recognized by Rayquaza.
Unexpectedly, I would encounter her so coincidentally.
It's too bad for such a strong person to die.
It just so happens that Su Sheng recently discovered that the genes of humans and elves in the Pokémon world are actually very similar.
In that case, can the two sides also perform organ transplants?
However, because he hasn't caught any lab rats recently, Xijiana is Su Sheng's first practical case.
Whether she can survive depends on her luck.
"A Sheng..."
At this time, Lihua came in rubbing her eyes.
"Awake? You can sleep a little longer."
Lihua shook her head, "I've slept for more than ten hours, don't forget we still have to go to Tokiwa City to trade with Yuboku."
"Jili~ Jili~"
Just then, Swablu flew in from outside the door and stopped at the back of Su Sheng's neck.
The wings, softer than cotton, tightly wrapped around Su Sheng's neck.
"Oh, I almost forgot it's almost winter."
Su Sheng smiled: "Thank you, Swablu."
"Jili~ Jili~"
Swablu squinted its eyes and returned a smile, and then looked worriedly at Xijiana's remaining two dragons on the other operating table - Altaria and Flygon.
"Don't worry, their condition is much better than their trainer, and they are already out of danger."
Su Sheng touched Swablu's little head.
"Jili~"
Swablu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just as Su Sheng retracted his hand.
Swablu's pupils suddenly shrank, and it staggered, looking like it was about to fall.
Fortunately, Su Sheng was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and reached out to catch Swablu.
"What, what's wrong again? When did you get hurt?!"
Even Lihua, who had good stress resistance, felt like she was going crazy.
How many days has it been? So many things have happened.
There's the master-level Masked Man, Rayquaza being caught by the Fengyuan Alliance, and now Swablu is also in trouble.
"No, it's not an injury."
Su Sheng checked and shook his head with a grave expression.
Swablu's body was inherently ill, like Trafalgar Law who suffered from lead poisoning when he was a child.
To put it bluntly, it is a congenital sickly holy body.
However, this world does not have a panacea like the surgical fruit that can cure all diseases.
Hey, wait, panacea?
Su Sheng remembered something.
Isn't Ho-Oh in Yuboku's hands one of the best healers in the Pokémon world?
I spent another morning revising the manuscript, and I'm more satisfied with the revision. I also hope everyone enjoys reading it more.
Although the recent updates have been reduced due to physical and family reasons, the next few chapters are all large chapters of about 6,000 words, which is equivalent to three chapters of many authors with 2,000 words per chapter. Although it's not an explosive update, I feel that it's not too bad.
Shamelessly asking for food, asking for tickets, asking for reviews, the next wave is another big battle plot, please continue to support, talk more and be lively, thank you.
