Chapter 353 Reshiram's Transformation (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)
"Tsk, this is really a tricky situation..."
Xia Chi rubbed his chin, gazing at the "legendary" spoils before him, feeling that it was even more mentally taxing than commanding the divine battle he had just fought.
This is hardly a harvest; it's a pile of hot potatoes.
First, he ruled out the option of handing them all over to the United Alliance for safekeeping.
It's not that he's stingy or unwilling to part with it; it's just that the United Alliance simply doesn't have the strength to do so!
Imagine if one of the big guys woke up in the middle of the night and was particularly grumpy when he woke up, that would be hilarious.
He certainly didn't want to see tomorrow's headlines like, "Shocking! The headquarters of the United Nations was razed to the ground by legendary elves!"
Moreover, Pokémon like Landorus, Tornado, and Thundurus are not ordinary legendary Pokémon; they are closely related to the natural climate of the Unova region.
Land clouds govern fertility, while tornado clouds and thunder clouds control storms and thunder. If they were kept in a dark room for a long time, who knows if agriculture and the climate in the Unova region would be thrown into chaos?
Therefore, we definitely need to find a way to put these weather gods back, so that they can return to their posts and continue to diligently "go to work" to maintain the ecological balance of the Unova region.
This can be achieved by communicating with N, and it is clear that Siyun Shen obeys N's orders without question.
And the Genesect Legion...
His gaze fell on the pile of deep purple mechanical artifacts.
These ancient Bug-type Pokémon, modified by Team Plasma, are now scattered everywhere like robots that have lost power.
It would be such a waste to destroy it like this; it's a complete waste of resources.
How about... we make use of these waste materials?
These Genesects are quite powerful in combat, and as modified spirits, their behavior patterns largely depend on pre-programmed routines.
If those destructive and conquering instructions can be removed and rewritten into protective programs, they can become a powerful and controllable force for maintaining order.
Xia Xiachi remembers that the modification technology and program control of Genesect were completed by Akromma, a scientist from the Plasma Team.
I wonder if this guy is on the list of prisoners captured this time.
If they were around, perhaps they could have Acromorma modify Genesect's programming to make them into something like the Unova Guardian Spirits?
This suggestion caught the eye of Wanlong and the head of Interpol.
If this powerful Genesect legion could be converted into our own, it would undoubtedly be a shot in the arm for the official forces, giving us much more confidence in dealing with various crises in the future.
Having initially resolved the "re-employment" issue for the Genesect Legion, Xia Chi turned his attention to another matter.
On the ground, Zekrom and Kyurem lay side by side, still radiating a chilling aura even in unconsciousness.
Xia Chi became much more cautious about how to deal with the two elves.
Unlike the Genesis, who can be bound by programs, they are ancient beings with independent will and power that is almost godlike.
Forced subjugation?
The idea flashed through Xia Chi's mind before he immediately rejected it.
Putting aside whether it will succeed, even if it does, how can we live together after bringing it home?
Reshiram and Zekrom are sworn enemies for millennia; it's considered a sign of restraint if they don't fight when they meet.
If we really take it back, my little island will probably never have a peaceful day again.
Releasing animals into the wild indiscriminately is even more inappropriate.
Who can guarantee that once they regain their power, they won't do something outrageous for various reasons?
For example, if one day Zekrom suddenly felt that N's ideas were more to his liking, he would go and break into prison and get N out.
This possibility is not zero.
This is why Xia Chi spent so much time trying to persuade N. If a "hero of ideals" recognized by Zekrom could be brought back to the right path and recruited into their camp, the benefits would definitely outweigh the drawbacks.
Of course, he also prepared for the worst.
If N and Zekrom remain fixated on that extreme path, all that's left is for them to recover from their injuries so I can "visit" the Unova region again.
What else can we do?
Send people to watch Czechoslovakia 24 hours a day?
Others don't have this ability, and Xia Chi doesn't have the time to be a full-time nanny.
As for the final Kyurem...
Xia Chi looked at the gray dragon that seemed to be forged from ancient ice, his brows furrowing slightly.
After much thought, it seems that only that place is the most suitable.
"As for Kyurem... let's send it back to the Giant's Cave."
Xia Chi finally made a decision.
"That is its traditional habitat, and the environment is most suitable for its recovery and dormancy. All you need to do is implant a hidden energy monitoring beacon in it to remotely monitor its condition and ensure that it is in a dormant or calm state most of the time."
"A very thoughtful consideration."
Wanlong expressed her agreement.
But then, anticipating a potential problem, she asked, "What if the monitoring system shows signs of unusual activity, or... that it's trying to leave the Giant's Cave?"
Xia Chi rubbed his temples and replied, "Then let's design an emergency plan. You can think of whatever it is."
He really didn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble anymore.
Wanlong pushed up his glasses and nodded knowingly, "I understand... For example, if an anomaly is detected, we will notify you, Teacher Xia Chi, immediately?"
'
Summer Pond:
'
'
Does the emergency response plan have to be me?
But on second thought, if a being of Kyurem's caliber were to cause trouble, the Unova Alliance might not be able to handle it.
We can't just shift this responsibility to Gadria, who's currently sleeping soundly with her head on Cynthia's lap, can we?
With a helpless sigh, Xia Chi finally nodded resignedly: "...Alright, if that happens, contact me immediately."
At this point, all the legendary Pokémon from Team Plasma who participated in the battle finally had relatively proper initial arrangements.
Upon closer reflection, the so-called "disposal" is mostly just putting things back in their original place.
Because they are essentially just "knives" used by Ghettoss, and now that the madman wielding the knives has been arrested, these powerful and ancient elves themselves, as long as they are undisturbed, have no active malice towards the world.
The massive storm that swept through United States has finally subsided, and the chaotic aftermath has been initially cleaned up.
As for whether there will be further developments in the future...
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore."
Xia Chi stretched and beckoned to Millerton and Erguipeng, "Let's go! We've been busy for so long, we're all starving. Let's ask Fa Jie to give us some extra food when we get back. There are plenty of sandwiches today!"
"Gurgle!"
"Bonnie!"
Since Gadria, the "patient," needed to rest, Xia Chi and Cynthia discussed it and decided not to rush back to Ripple Town overnight, but instead to find a place to rest in Kagome Town, which was nearby.
This also allows the spirits that have experienced intense battles to recover properly.
With the capture of all the high-ranking leaders of Team Plasma, the Plasma soldiers who had originally occupied Kagome Town scattered like birds the moment the news of their defeat spread.
The remote town on the outskirts of the United States has finally returned to its former tranquility.
The unconscious Gadria was originally being cared for by her elves, but they had also exerted all their strength in the battle just now and were greatly exhausted, so they needed to rest now.
Therefore, the responsibility of taking care of this superpowered king naturally fell on the shoulders of his best friend, Cynthia.
Seeing that there was nothing more for him to do, Xia Chi returned to his room.
After taking a relaxing hot shower, washing away the smoke and fatigue, I had just lain down on the bed and hadn't even had time to check the system's rewards for this battle round when weariness already washed over me.
The pressure from the plasma team has been immense for him lately.
Although the appearance of the Genesect Legion and the Kyurem was largely within his expectations, there was no guarantee that the old fox Ghetsis might be hiding something even more insidious.
Deoxys's sudden appearance is a significant variable.
Now that all threats have been eliminated and the incident has come to a satisfactory conclusion, the nerve that had been taut can finally be completely relaxed.
The pent-up psychological stress and physical exhaustion erupted simultaneously, causing Xia Chi to fall into a deep sleep almost instantly.
When Xia Chi opened her eyes again, the soft morning light was already filtering through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled patterns of light on the floor of the room.
A deep, dreamless night's rest greatly restored his energy.
He instinctively reached out to his side, but didn't touch the long legs that the Magic Masked Cat usually clung to him. A strange sense of emptiness and unease arose in his heart.
Shaking his head and chuckling, he briskly got out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and walked to the window, wanting to breathe in the fresh morning air.
The curtains were drawn back, but instead of the expected courtyard view, what came into view was a pair of enormous dragon eyes right up close.
Xia Chi was startled by the sudden close encounter and jumped back. When he saw the elegant and dignified pure white figure outside the window, he opened the window with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
"Reshiram? Shouldn't you be receiving treatment at the Pokémon Center? Why did you sneak out?"
Although Reshiram ultimately won his fateful duel with Dark Kyurem yesterday, he endured a lot of pressure and took many beatings before launching "Blue Flame Judgment" to secure the victory.
After the battle, Xia Chi immediately took her and Meowha to the Pokémon Center in Kagome Town, hoping to use modern equipment to help it recover faster.
Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible hint of disdain flashed in Rahiram's pure blue eyes.
A clear, slightly cold female voice rang directly in Xia Chi's mind.
"You mean the machines you humans make? The healing energy they output isn't even as much as my natural healing."
Xia Chi was both amused and exasperated.
However, upon closer examination, this is indeed the case. For a life form of Reshiram's level, the effects of human technology in treating such beings are likely negligible.
At the time, I was so worried that I made a mistake and tried anything out of desperation.
"Okay, okay, it was my oversight. Now that you're back, let's have breakfast together."
Xia Chi laughed and said, "You'll be having dinner with me today."
Reshiram tilted his massive head slightly, as if he had been thinking for a moment, before nodding gently with a touch of reserve.
Immediately, a soft white light emanated from its body, and its enormous form rapidly shrank within the light, transforming into a smooth white shadow that nimbly entered the room through the window and landed on the carpet.
"Wait a minute, I'll go wash up first, I'll be right back."
As Xia Chi spoke, she turned and walked towards the bathroom.
Just then, that clear, cold voice rang in his mind once more, carrying an unprecedented solemnity.
Thank you, Xia Chi.
The sudden formal thanks made Xia Chi stop in his tracks.
He turned around in surprise, looking at Rashiram standing quietly in the middle of the room, his heart tightening inexplicably. "You...you're leaving?"
Reshiram was clearly not expected Xia Chi to react this way. Its shrunken, slightly delicate and cute head tilted, and confusion showed in its icy blue eyes.
[Go? Where to?]
Seeing its reaction, Xia Chi finally breathed a long sigh of relief. "Ah... it just means it's leaving me to find a new, more suitable companion. Usually, before a formal farewell, people say something like 'thank you,' right?"
Rahiram's face displayed a speechless expression in a very human way.
What strange things do you think about every day?
"It's your own fault for always looking down on me..."
Xia Chi muttered something under his breath, then turned around and patted its head. "Anyway, I misunderstood, so what are you going to thank me for?"
Rahiram hesitated for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts, before finally responding honestly.
Thank you for helping me defeat those two guys.
Despite her arrogance, Reshiram still has a clear sense of self.
It clearly remembered that not long ago, at the underwater ruins, it had fought a fierce battle with Zekrom, evenly matched, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
In just over ten days, under Xia Chi's command, it had managed to decisively defeat the Dark Kyurem, a creature formed from the fusion of Zekrom and Kyurem, whose power had surged dramatically. Reshiram knew perfectly well that the hero behind this dramatic transformation was none other than the seemingly unreliable human trainer before him…
Upon hearing this reason, Xia Chi stopped stroking the object and instead gazed intently into Rahiram's icy blue eyes.
He didn't accept the thanks, but instead softly asked in return, "Why can't I be the one thanking you?"
Lehiram was somewhat bewildered by the question. After thinking about it carefully, it answered according to its own ideas.
Because even without my power, it seems you... could ultimately defeat them.
"you?"
Xia Chi frowned and asked, "Who are you referring to?"
Of course it is...
Rahiram had barely finished speaking when he understood what Xia Chi was trying to say, and a complex, indescribable look appeared in his eyes.
It lowered its head slightly, its voice becoming softer, yet it corrected the word with unparalleled clarity.
It is us.
Xia Chi, who understood her perfectly, knew that at this moment, Rahiram had truly shifted from accepting her own beliefs to feeling a sense of belonging to her extended family.
He smiled slightly and said, "So you should thank yourself for having such good taste, choosing me to be your hero."
Just as Rashiram felt a surge of emotion, it was instantly overshadowed by Xia Chi's shameless self-praise.
It was momentarily speechless and could only glance at him helplessly.
But deep within those eyes, the subtle distance and alienation brought by divinity had unconsciously melted away.
Xia Chi chuckled and ruffled her soft, white fur. "Alright, let's go eat."
