Chapter 613: The Crimson Violet Tome and Hei Ze
Chapter 613: The Crimson Violet Tome and Hei Ze
On the World Tree, Shizuru, Ultra Dream, and Skyborne stood on a massive branch, gazing at the colossal stone floating above the tree's canopy.
Ultra Dream maintained its Ultra Y form, and Skyborne, too, remained in its Mega Evolution state.
Skyborne looked at the stone before it with satisfaction. Perfect, with this stone here, there wouldn't be any issues!
Shizuru admired Skyborne's current appearance—its sleek black scales, ancient markings filled with mystique, and sacred golden tendrils—feeling that it was the epitome of a perfect Pokemon.
With such a cool appearance, immense power, and the title of Sky Ruler, Mega Skyborne's allure was boundless!
So cool! Shizuru marveled inwardly.
But then, a question arose: Why hadn't Skyborne Mega Evolved before?
Skyborne's Mega Evolution was significantly different from that of ordinary Pokemon.
It didn't require a Trainer with a Keystone, nor did it need a dedicated Mega Stone. Once it mastered the exclusive move "Dragon's Eye," it could Mega Evolve on its own.
Logically, Skyborne should have been able to Mega Evolve all along. Could it be that the energy stored in its Imperial Organ was insufficient?
The Imperial Organ, located in Skyborne's throat, was a unique organ that allowed it to store and convert meteorite energy for its own use.
When the energy accumulated to a certain level, Skyborne could activate it through Dragon's Eye, triggering a transformation into the powerful Mega Skyborne.
"So, it's likely that Skyborne's previous energy reserves were insufficient, and when it touched the colossal stone just now, it absorbed the energy emanating from it," Shizuru speculated silently.
Skyborne's Mega Evolution also brought Shizuru a sense of relief.
With Skyborne's increased strength, its role in the future Hoopa incident would be significant.
In the event that Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, Palkia, Dialga, and other legendary Pokemon were to be manipulated by Hoopa, they would still have Mega Skyborne as a formidable opponent.
Just like the numerous black Skyborne in the movie.
Moreover, retrieving the colossal stone would also thwart Flareblaze Team's plans, making this a successful mission for Shizuru.
As for Ultra Dream...
Shizuru turned to look at Ultra Dream, still in its Y form, on the other side.
Ultra Dream's expression was complex, filled with confusion and questions, as it stared at its palm in a trance.
What was this power? Why did it cause such a transformation in its body?
Observing Ultra Dream's actions, Shizuru knew without asking what it was thinking at that moment.
"This is Mega Evolution," Shizuru said.
"Mega Evolution?" Ultra Dream looked up at Shizuru, and its puzzled voice echoed through their telepathic connection.
Shizuru nodded. "Pokemon surpassing their limits, triggering the latent evolution factors within their bodies. It releases the secret energy within Pokemon, allowing them to temporarily surpass regular evolution and unleash power beyond. You should have felt it; this power has made you stronger."
Upon hearing this, Ultra Dream first pondered, then turned to look at Skyborne on the other side.
"Is that form of Skyborne also Mega Evolution?" it asked.
"Yes, logically, every Pokemon should be able to Mega Evolve. This phenomenon has existed since ancient times," Shizuru replied.
"Since ancient times?" Ultra Dream was surprised. "I was created by humans just five years ago... How do I also possess this power?"
Shizuru smiled slightly. "Doesn't that prove that you, too, are a type of Pokemon?"
Ultra Dream paused, then understood. "I see."
Next was the issue of handling the colossal stone.
Shizuru thought for a moment and asked, "Skyborne, do you want to absorb all the energy within the stone?"
"Roar!"
Skyborne nodded its massive head and then turned its gaze back to the stone.
However, the energy contained within the colossal stone was immense, and even Skyborne couldn't consume it all in a short time.
Thus, this task would take a long time!
But soon, Skyborne had a new idea.
It looked at Shizuru and said, "Roar!"
Shizuru was taken aback. "You mean Kiraki and other Pokemon can come to absorb the energy too?"
Skyborne immediately nodded its huge head, and seeing Shizuru understand, a delighted expression appeared on its face.
The energy on the World Tree was abundant, and whether it was Skyborne, Groudon, or Kyogre, the energy within the colossal stone wasn't essential for them to absorb.
Understanding the meaning behind Skyborne, Shizuru smiled and nodded, "Alright."
It just so happened that he also wanted to cut up a massive stone, dividing it into smaller pieces to create accessories like Keychain Keystones, Key Pins, and Key Brooches for Trainers to carry.
Although he and Qi Shu might not need them, after all, the Pokemon partners by their side couldn't undergo Super Evolution.
But in the future, when Little Tree grew up, perhaps she would encounter Pokemon capable of Super Evolution, and at that time, these Keystones and the Super Stones he had collected would come in handy.
Shizuru got straight to work, asking Ultra Dream to use its Psychic Blades to cut a small portion from the massive stone.
Shizuru had intended to ask Kiraki for help with the processing but suddenly remembered that Kiraki was away on a trip.
After a brief moment of thought, Shizuru decided to do it himself at home, as he usually had free time on his hands.
That evening, Shizuru ordered an angle grinder and some accessories like bracelets and hairpins from a shopping app.
To receive the items as soon as possible, the next morning, he asked a Pterafly delivery Pokemon to fetch the package for him.
Soon, the angle grinder was delivered to the ranch, and Shizuru took out the stone fragments to start crafting the Keystone Keychain.
Even though they were cut from the massive stone, these fragments still emitted colorful light.
As he began grinding, Shizuru suddenly remembered something.
If he recalled correctly, this massive stone seemed to have fallen from outer space onto this planet, right? Wouldn't that mean its essence was a meteorite from another planet?
Wait... Could this thing have radiation? But according to Fladarius's research, the wavelength emitted by the stone was identical to the Keystones carried by Trainers.
"The physical attributes of people in the Pokemon world are indeed beyond common sense..." Shizuru couldn't help but think to himself.
Before long, a batch of Keystone Keychains, Key Pins, and Key Brooches were crafted.
Using just some leftover fragments of the massive stone, he had created over a dozen Keystone accessories, no wonder Fladarius and Groudon went crazy over this stone in the Paldea region.
At noon, Qi Shu returned to the ranch after work and saw Shizuru and a group of Pokemon playing with a pile of strange items as soon as she arrived home.
"What's this?" she asked curiously.
"This? These are Keystones needed for Super Evolution, just like the Mega Stones in the Paldea region. As long as a Trainer carries one, their Pokemon can undergo Super Evolution," Shizuru replied.
Qi Shu immediately widened her eyes, "Such precious items, where did you get them?"
According to her knowledge, this technology was developed in the Kalos region, and even there, not all Trainers could obtain such precious Evolution Keystones!
"It's a secret," Shizuru said mysteriously.
Qi Shu immediately turned to look at Gogoat.
Gogoat: "Ah, gah..."
It didn't know either because it had spent the entire previous day sunbathing at the ranch and only knew that Shizuru had briefly visited the World Tree.
Shizuru didn't continue to keep the secret, "Actually, Skyborne led me to them. These stones are also considered food for Skyborne, and I asked it for some."
Upon hearing this, Qi Shu also recalled the Super Stones that Shizuru had brought back from the Kalos region.
"Alas, our Pokemon can't use them," Qi Shu sighed helplessly.
The couple's gaze naturally fell on the Pokemon by their side.
On one side were Gogoat, Babutap, Frost Fairy, Pterafly, Motolizard, and Zephyrfly...
On the other side were Magnemite, Elekid, Mewtwo, Electivire, Voltorb, Rotom, and Raichu...
Thinking about this, the couple couldn't help but feel dejected, sighing in unison.
"Alas."
The Pokemon looked at each other, unsure what was going on with their Trainers.
Shizuru took a small strawberry hairpin and put it away, while the rest were stored in the collection room for future use.
"This Keystone hairpin can be a tenth birthday present for Little Tree," Shizuru said, a father's gift, aiding his daughter's journey as a Trainer.
"I just hope Little Tree can fulfill our dream and bring back a Pokemon capable of Super Evolution," Qi Shu also hoped.
In the blink of an eye, six days had passed.
Shizuru now had a retired air about him.
On days when he didn't have classes, he would stay at the ranch, taking care of the children, playing with the Pokemon, or lounging in the garden, sunbathing, and reading the latest Paldea newspaper.
Most of the Pokemon in the ranch, except for a few specific ones, had also entered this retirement lifestyle, and life gradually became mundane.
Shizuru sat in the garden, with Gogoat lounging by his side, basking in the sun, and Motolizard observing butterflies in the nearby flower bed.
In the summer garden, the flowers bloomed in abundance, their fragrant pollen filling the air. Before long, Motolizard couldn't stop sneezing and dashed out from the flowerbed.
Gogoat glanced at it disdainfully.
Shizuru couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. He patted the ground beside him and said with a smile, "Come over here!"
"Ga-oh!" Motolizard eagerly ran over.
"Come and bask in the sun for a while," Shizuru patted its head.
Motolizard happily agreed, "Ga-oh~"
It didn't go anywhere else and obediently sat by Shizuru's side, enjoying the scent of flowers and the peaceful afternoon.
"Hmm..."
As several Pokemon napped peacefully, Shizuru smiled and finally picked up the Paldea Daily that Ai had delivered earlier that morning.
Reading the news about the collaboration between Blueberry Academy and Paldea Academy, Shizuru suddenly recalled his conversation with Bai Lei Ya last week about the Disc Pokemon mentioned in the Crimson Violet Tome.
Shizuru had read the Crimson Violet Tome before, in Zone Zero, borrowed from Dr. Aurene. However, he hadn't finished it then, only reading a portion about Paradox Pokemon.
After a moment's thought, Shizuru took out his Rotom Phone and ordered a second-hand copy of the Crimson Violet Tome online.
Coincidentally, the shop was just next door in Bottle City. Less than an hour after Shizuru placed the order, a Duraludon with a messenger bag around its neck delivered the book to the ranch.
Shizuru took the book from Duraludon and sat in his lounge chair, carefully reading the parts he had missed.
At the beginning, there was an introduction to the author.
"The author of the Crimson Violet Tome is Hei Ze, and the photo was taken with his partner, Motolizard.
Hei Ze is both a writer and a naturalist researcher. He was selected as a member of the Observation Team in Zone Zero and participated in the exploration of the Paldea Crater. Upon his return, he authored this book. During the observation in Zone Zero, Motolizard was responsible for carrying luggage and performed exceptionally well."
Below was a photo of Hei Ze and the sponsor who funded the Observation Team's exploration of the Paldea Crater.
"The principal of the academy and Hei Ze, the funds required for the observation in Zone Zero, were provided by Paldea Academy. The data collected in Zone Zero will be shared with the academy, hopefully contributing to the development of the academy's education and research, and fostering future researchers."
"The photo was taken by the Observation Team at the entrance of the Paldea Crater. Luckily, the weather was excellent that day, allowing the team to set off smoothly."
"The Paldea Crater in the photo extends deep into the earth, but due to the formation of cloud layers in the lower layers, the very bottom, where the treasure legends originate, could not be observed. The Observation Team will move downward into the Paldea Crater."
Shizuru noticed that the book also included black-and-white style illustrations, seemingly taken by the Observation Team's camera, though some were still hand-drawn.
He continued reading.
"Within the Paldea Crater lies a mysterious world known as Zone Zero, featuring never-before-seen terrain, plants, and Pokemon."
"In this place unsuitable for human habitation, something unknown to the world may be slumbering..."
"On the second day of the investigation, the photo was taken by an Observation Team member during their rest. Please observe the ground in the photo, where mysterious symbols can be found. Were these written by people from the Imperial Era who came to explore for treasures, or have they existed from the very beginning... It seems to be a graphic with some significance."
"Inside Zone Zero, by following the spiral cliffs around the perimeter, one can descend. There are also plants and water sources."
"Since ancient times, there have been rumors that at the deepest part of Zone Zero, there are legendary tree fruits, precious minerals, and other treasures, and it is said that guardians protect these treasures."
"A sketch by an Observation Team member. Surprisingly, the Pokemon species in the upper layers of Zone Zero seem no different from those outside the Paldea Crater."
"Upon reaching the lower layers, we began to hear calls we had never heard before. As the depth increased, massive ferocious creatures and small cruel beings, whose very nature as Pokemon was unclear, began to reveal themselves. Under their fierce attacks, some team members suffered fatal injuries, so we decided to retreat temporarily."
"The following is a photo taken by one of the Observation Team members by chance."
"Although it resembles a Pokemon called Duraludon, its size, shape, and other features are entirely different. Those fangs are enormous!"
