Chapter 591: The Bond Between Pokemon and Humans!
"Is this the Dynamax Crystal?" Jinghe asked, holding a spherical object resembling a black crystal in the Pokemon Center's room.
"Hmm?"
Genggui and the other Pokemon gathered around, curiously observing the sphere in Jinghe's hand.
"Woof!"
Ice Nine-Tails looked at it with a serious expression. She sensed a unique energy within the sphere, possibly dangerous, and suggested freezing it for further observation and research.
Jinghe smiled wryly at Ice Nine-Tails' earnestness, "It's fine, Nine-Tails. This sphere is just filled with Dynamax energy."
Ice Nine-Tails nodded thoughtfully at his words. Being unfamiliar with this power, she believed it required careful handling.
For the time being, she would keep a close eye on the Dynamax Crystal, ensuring no unexpected incidents occurred.
"Yowth?" Yuki nibbled on its finger. If the Dynamax Crystal was a type of berry, could it be eaten?
"No eating," Jinghe gently tapped Yuki's head, shaking his head. Technically, the Dynamax crystal was a form of crystallized energy, and crystals were minerals, like diamonds, on Yuki's menu.
The Dynamax energy originated from the ancient Pokemon, Turtle, a two-million-year-old creature capable of hardening energy into crystals. The Paradius region utilized this power to achieve Dynamaxing.
However, Jinghe worried that if Yuki developed a taste for Dynamax crystal energy, what if they encountered a living Turtle? Would Yuki start gnawing on it?
Jinghe shook his head, dismissing the thought. It was too risky to entertain such ideas.
"This Dynamax Crystal is filled with Dynamax energy, but it can only be used once. To use it again, it needs to be recharged. Let's consider it a one-time item," Jinghe explained.
After using the Dynamax Crystal's energy, it required recharging. In the Paradius region, recharging was simple; one could touch a crystal with Dynamax energy or visit a Pokemon Center for the process.
However, outside Paradius, except for the Blueberries Academy, there were no other known places to recharge.
For Jinghe, this Dynamax Crystal was a single-use item.
In comparison, the Gigantamax Band from the Galar region could only be used in specific locations within Galar, making it even more restrictive.
"Woof!" Ice Nine-Tails offered to take care of the Dynamax Crystal.
Seeing her determination, Jinghe didn't refuse. It didn't matter where it was stored.
"Okay."
Unova Region, Reversal Mountain, the Shrine of Bounty.
In the lush forest, an ancient-looking, seemingly dilapidated shrine stood, covered in moss on its stone sculptures.
"This is the place," the Seven Sages of Team Plasma, led by Ghetsis, arrived with his staff in hand. He fixed his gaze on the shrine.
"Yes, indeed," Colress, with his satellite-like head and white lab coat, adjusted his glasses and checked his tablet before nodding with a smile.
The Shrine of Bounty was an ancient place where the people of Unova worshipped the legendary Pokemon, Landorus. Over time, the legend faded from memory, and the shrine fell into disrepair.
"Destroying this shrine should anger the long-slumbering Landorus," Colress's glasses gleamed with excitement.
His creation, the 'Colress Machine,' was about to influence a legendary Pokemon. It was an exciting prospect.
Previously, he had captured Reshiram but only managed to harness a fraction of its power through instruments, failing to control it.
This time, perhaps...
He might successfully control a legendary Pokemon!
It was a bold attempt, fraught with danger.
But as a great scientist, how could he fear mere danger?
At Colress's words, Ghetsis waved his hand, and two Team Plasma members summoned their Pokemon to attack the Shrine of Bounty.
Boom!!
The Shrine of Bounty exploded instantly.
Rumble!
The ground shook, and dark clouds gathered in the sky, accompanied by howling winds.
The power of the legendary Pokemon lay not only in their strength but also in the authority they commanded.
In the Unova region, a commotion was stirring, and the Plasma Team members were visibly alarmed.
"Is this commotion... really nothing to worry about?"
N's face showed a hint of madness. He adjusted his glasses and held a tablet, taking a step forward and gazing up at the sky. In a low voice, he said, "The power of the Earth's raging 'Dragon Vein' energy, fused together, is specially prepared for you!"
Simultaneously, in his heart, he whispered, "Teacher Jinghe, the opportunity to face you again has arrived."
In a fighter jet flying amidst the clouds, a disguised Rocket Team member, Meowth, sat in the cockpit.
With a serious expression, Meowth manipulated the buttons beside the control stick and called Rocket Team Leader Banzu.
A video projection appeared inside the jet.
"Boss," Meowth said, her stern expression melting away like ice as she saw Banzu on the screen, "The Unova specialty snacks I sent are here, Boss."
Before she could finish, Meowth noticed the familiar small dish on Banzu's desk, containing the Unova snacks she had sent.
Meowth's cheeks flushed.
"You called just to tell me this?" Banzu asked, crossing his arms and frowning slightly.
"No, not that!" Meowth exclaimed.
"According to your instructions, Boss, I contacted Dr. Seg and canceled the 'Stormy Plan,' but..."
Meowth, along with the Rocket Trio, had come to Unova, ostensibly to participate in the Pokemon Hollywood event, but secretly, they had another agenda—to announce the cancellation of Banzu's original 'Stormy Plan.'
The 'Stormy Plan' was an operation devised by Banzu years ago within the Rocket Team, targeting the Unova region's legendary Pokemon, the Three Clouds—Landorus, Tornadus, and Thundurus.
However, due to Jinghe's influence, Banzu had altered the Rocket Team's development strategy, rendering the 'Stormy Plan' unnecessary.
Therefore, one of Meowth's secret mission objectives was to announce the cancellation of the 'Stormy Plan' and retrieve the Rocket Team members who had been stranded in the Unova region.
"But what?" Banzu asked calmly.
"Just now, our instruments suddenly detected traces of the Three Clouds' unusual activity," Meowth hurriedly explained.
"Oh?" Banzu narrowed his eyes.
"Do you know who's responsible?"
"Most likely, it's the Unova region's local force, the Plasma Team!"
"The Plasma Team..." Banzu straightened up, his fingers lightly tapping the table, creating a rhythmic 'knock knock' sound.
After a moment of contemplation, Banzu asked, "Does Jinghe know about this?"
Meowth shook her head. "I haven't told Teacher Jinghe yet."
"Tell him; he'll handle it," Banzu said.
After a brief pause, Banzu added, "Tell him, that guy's been busy lately."
"Huh? Oh," Meowth replied, unsure of what Banzu meant. She understood that this was a secret between Boss Banzu and Teacher Jinghe, and her role was to convey the message as is.
Feeling a twinge of jealousy, she thought, "I came here first."
"The Unova region's Rocket Team branch will be temporarily led by Jinghe in the 'Command' position."
"But Teacher Jinghe... he doesn't seem to know we're from the Rocket Team," Meowth whispered.
Banzu chuckled.
Jinghe doesn't know? You can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep.
Jinghe doesn't know we're from the Rocket Team? Banzu would rip his head off and use it as a soccer ball!
"Just tell him they're all company employees with a billion points of combat power."
Meowth suddenly understood.
"Yes, sir!"
"Meloetta?"
Meloetta suddenly straightened up, gazing towards the east.
"What's wrong, Meloetta?" Jinghe asked, organizing his belongings.
Throughout the day, Meloetta had seemed to zone out more than once.
"Melo..."
Meloetta shook her head, unsure of what was happening but sensing some danger.
Jinghe smiled and pinched Meloetta's soft cheeks, saying, "After we tidy up the room, I'll make something delicious for you."
Unova's macarons were a local specialty.
Coincidentally, Jinghe had his own unique expertise in making macarons.
"Meloetta~~"
Meloetta immediately started singing joyfully.
"Beep beep, incoming call from Lotom!"
Lotom floated over, holding Jinghe's phone.
Lotom had always been puzzled as to why Jinghe didn't let him enter his phone, even though Jinghe used his phone far more frequently than his Pokedex.
Jinghe's phone rang, and he answered it, seeing that the call was from Zhen Niao.
His heart skipped a beat.
Right, what about the Rocket Trio? Have they returned?
If they haven't, this situation might be more complicated than it seems.
At that moment, in a bustling street of Eindoak, the Rocket Trio, dressed in their work uniforms, simultaneously sneezed.
"It must be a fan thinking of me!"
Jinghe pressed the answer button.
"Hello, it's me, Jinghe."
"Jinghe-sensei~" Zhen Niao's voice came through the phone.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Well, there is something."
"Go on."
Zhen Niao hesitated, unsure how to convey the information she had learned. After a moment of thought, she cautiously asked, "Jinghe-sensei, do you know about Landorus? The Ground-type Pokemon, a legendary one..."
"Landorus? Isn't it a Bug-type?" Jinghe blurted out.
"Huh?" Zhen Niao was taken aback.
Isn't Landorus a Ground-type legendary Pokemon?
Could a Bug-type control the earth's fertility?
Well, it makes sense in a way; no locust plagues mean fertility.
"Ahem." Jinghe coughed twice, feeling he couldn't guess Zhen Niao's thoughts. He steered the conversation back on track.
"What about Landorus?"
He glanced at Meloetta, who had been taken away by Lotom.
Could Landorus be the reason for Meloetta's unusual behavior today?
"It's like this..."
Zhen Niao proceeded to briefly explain the situation, carefully avoiding the topic of the Rocket Trio and instead implying that she had learned about it by chance.
But who was Jinghe? He already knew the plot and the Rocket Trio's "Stormy Plan." In the original story, Boss Banzu had executed this plan, traveling all the way from Kanto to Unova, almost losing his life in the process.
From Zhen Niao's seemingly evasive words, Jinghe roughly understood the situation.
"Oh, and there's one more thing. Boss Banzu's exact words were, 'That guy has been busy lately.'" Zhen Niao relayed the message.
'That guy' obviously referred to Mewtwo.
It implied that this time, Mewtwo was unlikely to be of assistance.
Jinghe gently rubbed his chin twice.
"And?"
"Can't you just say everything at once?"
"It's the last thing. Boss Banzu said that currently, all the 'company' employees in Unova are under your command, Jinghe-sensei! You're now the head of the Unova branch!" Zhen Niao added, sounding slightly aggrieved.
Head of the branch?
The Unova branch of the Rocket Team?
Am I, who pretends to know nothing about the Rocket Team, going to end up becoming their leader?
Three years, then another three years?
No, that's not quite right.
"I understand."
"Head, please..."
Before Zhen Niao could finish, Jinghe hung up the phone.
Command? No need to panic.
Even if the Plasma Team has influenced the Three Cloud Gods, with Meloetta on our side, the Three Cloud Gods won't cause much trouble.
One of Meloetta's primary 'duties' is to calm the restless Three Cloud Gods.
But then, Jinghe had a change of heart.
"To be safe, I'll call for some help."
He had a certain ability to deal with special events, and he was well aware of it.
Mewtwo was busy, but that didn't mean he couldn't call for assistance.
He picked up his phone and dialed another number.
The call was quickly answered, and a familiar voice came through.
"Who have you provoked now?"
The voice was deep and cautious.
It was none other than the Dusknoir of Whitewood Town!
"What do you mean? Can't I call you if there's no trouble?" Jinghe asked, slightly annoyed.
Really, am I the kind of person who causes trouble? Most of the time, trouble finds me, right?
"Hmph!" Dusknoir scoffed. "I wonder if I should believe you."
"Whether you believe me or not, I've just made a batch of Lome Fruit Energy Cubes and a batch of Pineapple Energy Cubes."
"Wait for me!"
The call ended.
Jinghe chuckled.
See?
What is the bond between Pokemon and humans?
This is the bond between Pokemon and humans!
Just a phone call away.
Moreover, Dusknoir could provide some security and teach Yuki a few more Dark-type moves.
The Loud Roar learning machine he had exchanged earlier was indeed a hasty decision.
