Chapter 467: Are You the 'Reimbursement Man'?
Chapter 467: Are You the 'Reimbursement Man'?
"Kaa-roar!"
Rayquaza looked down disdainfully at Jinghe, who had landed and slumped weakly on the ground, exhaling two puffs of white air from its nose.
Weakling.
Can't even handle a short flight.
Jinghe felt dizzy and disoriented, as if the world was spinning around him. He seemed to see Rayquaza, Rapid Dragon, and Latis playing a game of "Guess Who" with Pokemon cards.
Hmm?
Why is Latis here?
This was probably the most dizzying experience Jinghe had ever had.
I'm such a fool. I only knew that the opportunity to ride Rayquaza was rare, but I forgot about my 'weakness' to speed.
Someone who can't adapt to high speeds actually rode on Rayquaza's head to experience the final touch of a masterpiece? This is more exaggerated than turning on a light in a toilet.
He shook his head, gradually regaining his composure.
However, whether to speak of it or not, riding Rayquaza was truly exhilarating, especially without any 'burden'.
Unlike in the special episode, Mr. Qian Li exhausted himself trying to control Rayquaza and eventually died.
Moreover, looking at the thoughtful Rapid Dragon beside him, it seemed that it had also learned something from Rayquaza's 'teaching' just now.
On the other side, Rayquaza glanced disdainfully at Jinghe and then turned its gaze towards the two Deoxys, one purple and one green, its eyes narrowing as a threatening look appeared in them without reservation.
It was as if Rayquaza was saying: I'll let you off this time, but if you enter my territory without permission again, don't blame me.
[Don't forget your promise.]
"Kaa-roar!!!"
With a long roar, Rayquaza flicked its tail and soared into the sky, piercing through the clouds and leaving behind a 'passage' to space.
"Rayquaza..." Wusong murmured in awe.
Could it be that Jinghe had just 'persuaded' Rayquaza to leave?
Is this the charm of the 'Mind Bridge' personality? Thinking back to the call he received from Da Ye a few months ago, saying that Jinghe had defeated Dialga and Palkia, he hadn't believed it at the time. Now it seemed that Da Ye's feelings then were probably similar to his own.
So, Wusong discreetly walked halfway and, in the middle of the night, dialed Da Ye's number.
"Hey, Afro, listen up. Just now, Jinghe was riding Rayquaza and taking a leisurely flight."
Jinghe, having recovered, looked towards the two Deoxys.
Buzz—
His phone vibrated slightly, the screen turning green and displaying two words.
[█████]: Thank you.
It finally learned to say something other than 'friend'.
Jinghe waved his hand.
Earth is in danger, hurry back to Mars.
He thought to himself, but said, "It's fine now."
If he could help, he would, but if he couldn't, forcing himself wouldn't be useful. Fortunately, there was still some connection with Rayquaza, allowing for communication.
If communication was impossible, the entire Hoenn region would be in trouble.
The two Deoxys looked at each other, each with its unique way of communicating.
The scanning structures on their cheeks flashed, and they nodded slightly, as if they had agreed on something.
Then, the arms of the two Deoxys intertwined and merged, ultimately forming an unknown object with intertwining orange and blue colors, which fell to the ground.
Although it was only the size of half a fist, it seemed unusually heavy. Not only did it make a 'clang' sound when it hit the ground, but it even created a small dent, indicating its weight.
"What is this?" Da Wu was surprised.
Even he had never seen such a metal.
Jinghe was also stunned.
A metal from space? Or was it a metal from Deoxys?
The two Deoxys didn't say anything else, they just nodded at Jinghe and flew away together.
Jinghe's phone flashed with another message from Deoxys.
[█████]: Thank you.
Looking at his phone, Jinghe's expression was peculiar.
What had this ordinary phone gone through?
"Cha?"
The Great Forge Smith cautiously approached and grabbed the metal left by Deoxys, looking delighted.
He squeezed it tightly, and on the surface of what should have been an extremely solid and heavy metal, his handprint appeared.
However, after a slow wriggling movement, it eventually returned to its original shape.
Seeing this, the Great Forge Smith became excited.
"Cha!!!"
The last piece of the puzzle for Charcoal Little Servant's armor design had finally been found!
It seemed that the matter had come to a close.
"Jinghe, Da Wu."
At this moment, Genji Tenno and Mikuri finally arrived at the scene.
They should have arrived earlier, but it seemed that Jinghe had calmed Rayquaza down, and they had been waiting outside to prevent Rayquaza or Deoxys from perceiving their sudden appearance as a threat.
Now that they saw Rayquaza and Deoxys had both left, they hurried over.
In the secret base of the Rocket Team in Kan East Changpan City.
"It... it really Mega Evolved?"
On the screen, the white light of evolution faded, and the appearance of Metagross 2 had once again changed.
Its original red and blue color scheme remained, but its eyes had turned yellow, resembling a target, and its entire body seemed even more bizarre, exuding a strange aura from top to bottom.
Moreover, although Metagross 2 had gained a certain level of self-awareness, it still relied on its program to some extent.
However, even through the screen, the researchers could sense a subtle liveliness emanating from it.
It was becoming less and less like a machine and more like a living being.
Buzz—
Its body flickered, and it suddenly appeared behind the researchers out of thin air.
"Is this... the power of dimensional space?"
"A keen-eyed researcher quickly noticed something amiss.
It tilted its head, its eyes flashing, as if scrutinizing the group of researchers before it, just as they had once examined it.
Its actions were peculiar, its head remaining still while its body spun in circles.
Patterns appeared on its body, with the faint light constantly changing—sometimes turning golden with electricity, sometimes becoming pitch-black with malice, and sometimes an eerie blue.
It seemed to be altering its attributes repeatedly.
However, it didn't seem to affect the researchers, and it merely observed them silently.
Just then, a figure appeared on the platform above the researchers. Seeing its abilities, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"This is getting interesting."
"Boss Sakaki."
Noticing the newcomer, the researchers respectfully greeted him.
Metagross also noticed Sakaki's arrival and, after staring at him for a while, it retreated back into the screen.
The researchers heaved a sigh of relief.
With Sakaki's discerning eye, he could naturally discern the abilities of the evolved Metagross.
With its ability to freely change attributes, combined with its inherent characteristics, this newly evolved Metagross seemed like a Pokemon with immense potential.
But Sakaki's primary concern was still Ultra Beasts.
He glanced at the quiet Ultra Beasts, turned, and left.
Sakaki didn't need to guess; he knew this incident was related to Jinghe.
Verde Valley City, Da Wu's Residence.
"So, the rampaging Pokemon were all caused by Lava Team and Lavender Violet Holding Company?"
After hearing Jinghe's brief explanation, Yuanzhi frowned and asked.
It sounded like a question, but his tone suggested that he was almost certain about it.
Yuanzhi, an elder and veteran Tenno, was well aware of the matters between Lavender Violet Holding Company and Dewen Corporation.
Although it appeared that Lavender Violet Holding Company had gone bankrupt due to Dewen Corporation's rise, the primary reason was the excessive investment of resources in building the new Violet City, which led to a broken funding chain.
Otherwise, with the size of Lavender Violet Holding Company at the time, even if it couldn't compete with Dewen Corporation, it wouldn't have directly declared bankruptcy.
Jinghe glanced at Da Wu, who was treating his Pokemon in the garden, and at Wusong and Mikuri, who were chatting happily. Lowering his voice, he said:
"Old man, I have a question."
"Go ahead," Yuanzhi said, picking up his cup and downing its contents in one gulp. He soon furrowed his brows.
Bitter, astringent, and with a hint of sourness.
He couldn't understand why so many young people liked coffee, and he shook his head.
"Has the League ever captured Rayquaza?"
Upon hearing this, Yuanzhi paused his fiddling with the cup, looking at Jinghe with a mix of surprise and bewilderment.
"How do you know?"
"Really?!" Jinghe almost jumped up.
Wow,
Rayquaza, you guys actually tried to capture it?
Hmm?
That's not right. If Rayquaza had been captured as depicted in the special episode and even imprisoned for a few years, today's communication and guessing wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
Yuanzhi waved his hand, "There was indeed such a plan proposed at the time, and it had even been discussed in detail before being halted."
He continued:
"Jinghe was the first to object, and we also felt it was inappropriate. After careful consideration, the Bellrich family in Sinnoh also thought it was unwise, so we shelved the plan."
Did Zhufuchi Jinghe oppose it?
Jinghe narrowed his eyes, "So, Lavender Violet Holding Company was the one who proposed this plan?"
The "Rayquaza Capture Plan" involved only a few major powers.
The League and the Bellrich family were responsible for researching various methods to control Rayquaza, such as the Green Orb, while Dewen Corporation and Lavender Violet Holding Company provided the technical support.
Now that Dewen, the League, and the Bellrich family were all opposed, that only left Lavender Violet Holding Company.
"I guess so."
Yuanzhi glanced at Jinghe.
These were highly confidential matters for the League, but considering Jinghe's strength and the future plans for him, sharing a little more wasn't an issue.
Besides, Jinghe already knew about it.
"So, Lavender Violet Holding Company went bankrupt after that?" Jinghe asked again.
It seemed that the "Rayquaza Capture Plan" was Lavender Violet Holding Company's last-ditch effort.
"Rayquaza probably doesn't know, right?" Yuanzhi asked in return.
If Rayquaza knew about today's events, things might not end well.
Jinghe didn't answer but said:
"Then, don't you think the purpose of Lava Team, who collaborated with Lavender Violet Holding Company?"
"Isn't it for Infinite Energy?"
"The people from Lavender Violet Holding Company are indeed after Infinite Energy, and so is Lava Team?"
Yuanzhi furrowed his brows and scrutinized Jinghe up and down before sighing in exasperation:
"Stop beating around the bush and just say it."
Jinghe smiled and, without being intimidated, replied:
"The legendary ancient beasts aren't just Rayquaza."
In the Hoenn myth, the ancient beasts included not only Rayquaza but also Groudon and Kyogre.
Hmm?
Yuanzhi understood the implication of Jinghe's words and stood up abruptly, saying in a deep voice:
"You mean Groudon!"
Lavender Violet Holding Company was involved in the "Rayquaza Capture Plan," and although it was eventually halted, the plan had progressed to its latter stages before being stopped.
The Lavender Violet Holding Company had undoubtedly made the designs and arrangements and conducted sufficient information research.
The remnants of the Lavender Violet Holding Company and Team Magma had formed an alliance, each seeking what they needed from the other. The Lavender Violet Holding Company needed Team Magma's military might, so Team Magma required detailed information from the Lavender Violet Holding Company regarding their plans to capture Rayquaza.
Perhaps they had even devised a plan to capture Groudon.
After Jinghe's repeated "reminders," if he didn't think of Groudon, he wouldn't have become a member of the Elite Four.
"Wasn't there also a Team Aqua that had emerged recently?"
Genji's brows furrowed even more deeply.
Team Magma, Team Aqua, and the Lavender Violet Holding Company—this situation was becoming complicated.
Genji stood up, intending to interrogate the Team Magma members captured by Wusong and then report his and Jinghe's speculations.
"Old man," Jinghe suddenly called out again.
"Hmm?"
Genji, who was about to leave, turned around.
He saw Jinghe smiling, "That..."
Genji understood what Jinghe meant.
He couldn't help but chuckle.
"You kid."
But soon, as if remembering something, a mocking glint flashed in his eyes, and he said,
"Same as always, you fill out the forms, and I'll sign them."
"Alright!"
As expected, Old Man Genji was still easy to talk to.
As for reimbursement... Energy Cubes aren't exactly cheap.
Brilliant sunlight bloomed in the sky, the azure heavens were clear, and a gentle breeze swept across the lawn, causing petals to swirl and ascend like a trail of dew.
Jinghe lay on a large patch of soft grass, a blade of grass in his mouth, savoring the spring sunshine and feeling refreshed.
"If we can get along well with Rayquaza, maybe things won't be so dangerous in the future." Jinghe sighed contentedly.
Team Magma and Team Aqua, no matter how well they hid, had likely already caught the attention of the League.
He had provided sufficient warnings.
Believing that Team Magma and Team Aqua's plans would not be so easy to carry out, perhaps Groudon and Kyogre would not be able to awaken.
Even if these two guys woke up, if Rayquaza could be summoned in time, they might not cause much damage.
"Prevention is better than cure."
He felt a little bit of self-satisfaction in his heart.
Seeing a helicopter taking off in the distance, Jinghe waved at it.
Inside the helicopter, Wusong's expression was complicated.
Punching Dialga and Palkia, riding on Rayquaza through the night sky, capturing Darkrai, and establishing friendly relations with the Visitor from the Sky, Deoxys—
"We need to get the big sister to work harder," Wusong muttered, pushing up his glasses.
If they could bring back Sinnoh, there would be no need to fear major incidents in Sinnoh in the future.
Unfortunately, he couldn't move them.
Watching the departing plane, Jinghe retracted his gaze and smiled, "Are you full?"
By his side, Darkrai gradually appeared.
Darkrai glanced at him but didn't speak.
"Thanks for this time," Jinghe said again.
"Burp~"
Just as Darkrai was about to speak, he couldn't help but let out a satisfied belch.
As mature as it was, its face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
"Hahaha—" Jinghe laughed heartily without restraint.
"What the hell are you laughing at!" Darkrai retorted irritably.
"Let's go."
Darkrai seemed genuinely embarrassed, and its body gradually dissipated.
"Anyway, thanks this time," Jinghe said, suppressing his laughter and sitting up. He sincerely expressed his gratitude.
Darkrai nodded slightly, accepting his thanks, but added,
"Try to avoid getting involved with such things in the future."
Jinghe was taken aback.
"Your tone... feels a bit strange."
"Hmph."
Darkrai eventually disappeared from sight.
Jinghe lay back on the lawn, gazing at the cerulean sky.
His vision seemed to penetrate everything.
He "saw" Rayquaza, well-fed and ready to take a nap on a meteorite.
He "saw" two Deoxys in space, continuing their search for their companions.
For a fleeting moment,
Rayquaza slightly opened its eyes, looking towards a corner of the planet, and the Deoxys turned back, revealing friendly expressions.
A smile also appeared on Jinghe's face.
"When life encounters life, something is always born."
He looked to the other side and suddenly shouted,
"Gramps!"
"Huh?"
Gramps shuddered, his hands behind his back, facing Jinghe's gaze with a "shy" smile.
Seeing this, Jinghe narrowed his eyes.
My little ghost, what have you done now?
"Hmm~"
Rapid Dragon was having fun in the sky, occasionally sprinkling water that refracted a rainbow in the air.
Martial Bear Master held a towel, standing under the water droplets, marveling at the "gift" of nature while scrubbing his body and creating foam, ready to wash away the dirt from the previous night.
Great Forge Smith, holding a hammer, and Charcoal Little Servant were tinkering nearby. Seeing their serious expressions, it seemed that Charcoal Little Servant's long-desired armor was finally about to be completed.
Once Charcoal Little Servant evolved, its strength would undoubtedly receive a significant boost.
At that time, it would be able to fully integrate into their family.
Tyrogue was the most well-behaved, sitting on the grass and happily gnawing on a rock.
As long as there was enough food, the little guy was always quite well-behaved.
While eating, he didn't forget to pick up a small wooden stick to clean his teeth, and then he swallowed the stick along with the rock, a novel way of eating.
In the distance, Daisuke and Mikuri, the best of friends, were engaged in a battle.
"Roar~"
Ice Nine-Tailed suddenly stood up because a figure appeared next to Jinghe, casting a shadow over his face.
"You are..."
It was a beautiful woman with golden hair.
Her face carried a smile as she slowly said, "Are you the 'Reimbursement Man'?"
