Sakaki did not make any small moves regarding the Deoxys meteorite.
After experiencing the daily life of Team Rocket members for a day in this underground base, Xia Chen received the meteorite from the real bird.
The meteorite is not particularly large, with a diameter of about two meters according to visual inspection and an irregular spherical shape.
"Mr. Xia Chen, this meteorite is not very convenient to carry. If you are willing, I can lend you this laboratory for a while."
Zhenniao does the after-sales work meticulously, as if Xia Chen is not the assistant who destroyed their Rockets, but their most distinguished customer.
Xia Chen looked at Zhenniao slightly warily, not understanding the reason behind her inexplicable kindness.
Zhenniao looked back at Xia Chen with a smile and replied calmly: "Although our positions are different, the proper etiquette must be in place."
After a pause, she added: "This is what Boss Sakaki meant."
The vigilance in Xia Chen's heart was still not completely lifted, but with the double insurance of Guluton and Deoxys, he didn't pay much attention to it.
In the face of absolute strength, conspiracy is like a mouse seeing the sun.
Based on this confidence, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will trouble you here for a while."
It's not that he thinks it's not easy to take the meteorite back, it's not a problem at all for Gulerton.
The main reason is that the experimental equipment at Team Rocket's base is relatively complete, and it is indeed a more convenient place to study Deoxys than Yuanling Island.
Hearing that Xia Chen agreed, Zhenniao smiled, bowed slightly and took two steps back.
"It's no trouble. If you need anything, you can always come to me."
After saying that, she left the room.
Looking at the real bird's leaving figure, Xia Chen frowned slightly.
Something is wrong, so wrong.
"Senbu, what do you think?"
Xia Chen consulted the fairy Ibrahimovic at his feet.
"Buyi..."
Xianbu shook his head in confusion.
She didn't have the opportunity to come to Team Rocket's underground base in her previous life, so that memory was of little help to her current situation.
Unable to find the answer, Xia Chen had to give up thinking.
"Forget it, let's leave immediately after helping Deoxys recover."
Outside the door, the real bird who left the laboratory walked straight into Sakaki's office.
"Boss, Xia Chen agreed to stay."
Sakaki's figure flickers in the intersection of light and shadow.
He nodded and said: "Send all the hair collected from Xia Chen and his elves, and let the Red Lotus Research Institute hurry up in the past few days."
Zhenniao responded one by one, but he couldn't help but wonder: "Boss, there has been no progress in the research on Super Fantasy for two or three years. Can the genes of Xia Chen and his elves... really help?"
Sakaki muttered: "I hope so... After all, since that guy and the elves came into our sight, their performances have been too extraordinary, and there is also the super fairy Ibrahimovic who is similar to Arceus. I have a hunch that her
Genes will play a very important role."
"In short, all current resources must be invested in the research of Mewtwo. It will definitely become the sharp knife of Team Rocket..."
…………
At the same time, in the laboratory where the Deoxys meteorite was placed.
After the real bird left, the energy core that had been hiding in Xia Chen's pocket eagerly came out, flashing with auroral light.
Xia Chen, who was familiar with it, knew that it was a ripple of excitement and joy.
"With this, can you recover your body?"
Xia Chen asked.
The energy core radiates the radiance of meaning [is].
"Approximately how long will it take?"
[Three days to a week.]
Fortunately, it didn't take long.
Xia Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If it had been ten days and a half months or even longer, he would have chosen to take the meteorite back to Yuanling Island.
No matter how confident he was, being in the Rockets' base camp always made him feel very uncomfortable.
After retracting his thoughts, he touched the energy crystal with his finger and said with a smile: "Then you can rest here and repair it during this period, and leave the rest to me and Gulton."
Deoxys responded with a soft green light.
In order to ensure the safety of Deoxys, Xia Chen took the elves to live in this very spacious laboratory.
Every day's meals are delivered by a caring butler, and some of the garbage they produce is taken away before leaving, which is very considerate.
Except for Ai Guanshi, no other members of Team Rocket have ever entered the laboratory.
Even Gullerton couldn't find anything unusual about it.
This continued for four or five days, and Xia Chen's vigilance gradually decreased as time went by.
Then again, the possibility of Team Rocket not having a conspiracy is not low. After all, the layout in Galar was severely damaged. It is normal to be more honest and responsible during this period.
In the calm daily life, time came to the fifth day of Deoxys' self-repair.
Xia Chen was awakened by the dazzling aurora suddenly emitted by the meteorite.
Climbing out of the temporary tent set up in the laboratory, the dark room was filled with magnificent and bizarre aurora.
Doronbaruto and Sai Fuhao, who were in charge of the night watch, were gathered around the meteorite, watching this scene in amazement.
Other elves also woke up from their sleep one after another, still in a dazed state.
Soon, they realized what was about to happen - Deoxys was reborn!
It is not entirely accurate to say that it is reborn. After all, the energy core is its source of life.
However, through the body repair brought about by the special energy of the meteorite, he can finally no longer rely on Xia Chen and exist alone.
In the dazzling aurora, the energy core began to extend outward like kneading dough.
Soon, a creature that looked very much like an alien... no, it was an elf from the mysterious universe appeared on the meteorite - Deoxys!
After more than a year, this familiar yet unfamiliar partner finally appeared in front of me in an independent manner!
…………
Xia Chen put away his emotion, looked at Deoxys who was obviously ignorant of the novelty, and smiled slightly.
"Although it's a long time late, but...welcome back to this world, Deoxys!"
"Buzz~"
Deoxys responded happily. The frequency of its sound was very strange, like radio waves coming from the universe.
Jumping down from the meteorite, Deoxys flew to Xia Chen's side and hugged him with his arms as soft as noodles.
It felt cool and comfortable to the touch. Xia Chen thought this might be Deoxys's way of expressing goodwill.
"Okay, don't just stick to me, there are other partners too."
Xia Chen tried to pull away Deoxys' noodle arm so that he could communicate with other elves.
Deoxys did not let go. After responding with a "buzz~", a dozen clones dispersed from his body and entangled the elves who were watching the excitement.
One is not too much, the other is not enough, and the rain and dew are both absorbed.
Xia Chen found it quite funny. The character of this Deoxys was more lively than the one in the theatrical version. It must be related to the behavior of the elves in daily life.
When it first comes to the earth, it is like a piece of white paper. Whatever it sees, it will be painted with whatever color it wants.
He and Senbu are pretty good painters, and the Deoxys they "raised" has a very healthy character.
After playing around for a while, Deoxys finally put away the excitement of coming into this world and calmed down.
Seeing that the time was almost here, Xia Chen decided to discuss a topic that had been hidden in his heart for a long time with Deoxys.
"Now that your body has recovered, have you considered where to go next?"
Deoxys was stunned for a moment, and then he was at a loss for this sudden question.
"Buzz..."
Even with the strange frequency of the sound waves, the frustration is very obvious.
Xia Chen...don’t you want me anymore?
This simple-minded legendary elf from the universe was inexplicably panicked, and even had an absurd idea.
If this were the case, I would not have restored it if I had known earlier...
Deoxys's frustration was very obvious and was easily captured by Xia Chen.
This guy doesn't think I'm going to let him go, does he?
How is that possible? I am not a life-release master named Xiao Mingzhi.
While it was a bit funny, Xia Chen was also inexplicably moved.
He suddenly remembered a topic he had seen on the Internet in his previous life——
Are there any anime duos in which the stronger one will obey the orders of the weaker one?
There are many examples and many reasons.
Xia Chen felt that the Deoxys in front of him was like that.
This has nothing to do with whether it is a legendary elf or whether it is powerful.
It simply feels that being strong is no big deal, and being able to be with one's close partners is the most important thing.
…………
"Don't think too much, I have no intention of driving you away."
Xia Chen quickly explained: "I'm just asking what you think. If you want to, of course I'm very willing to live together."
Deoxys's mood improved, and he immediately emitted light waves that expressed "I am very willing".
The soft arms wrapped around Xia Chen again like an octopus.
"Okay, I understand... don't make trouble."
Xia Chen stopped Deoxys from playing around and said seriously: "But even though this is the case, don't you have any goals?"
"Buzz..."
Target...
Deoxys fell into thinking. He was so simple-minded that he didn't quite understand what Xia Chen meant.
"That is, what you want to do, or what you must do."
Xia Chen reminded.
Once reminded, Deoxys suddenly thought of something and hurriedly passed the light wave to Xia Chen.
"Buzz——"
Xia Chen's expression gradually became solemn as he accepted the information, "You mean, there is also a Deoxys that followed the meteorite to the earth?"
Deoxys nodded in affirmation.
Sure enough, just like in the theatrical version, there are two Deoxys!
As for where the second one is... there are only two possibilities.
First, he escaped like in the movie version.
Second, captured by Team Rocket like in the special episode.
Xia Chen is more inclined to the second possibility.
Because if it is the first situation, Deoxys will most likely find him.
Even if I didn’t come here for some reason before, I will come here later.
Undoubtedly, he needs to be prepared for the worst case scenario when another Deoxys is on the Rockets' side.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Xia Chen asked Deoxys, "So, do you want to find your partner?"
Deoxys nodded. Before meeting Xia Chen, the two Deoxys spent a long time drifting with meteorites in the cold and lonely universe.
In human terms, that is its only relative.
"I understand...I'll help you."
Xia Chen nodded and said.
If it weren't for Deoxys, Xia Chen would have died a long time ago on the [Daden Haiyan] in the distant East Padian Sea.
Although Xia Chen and Xianbu had "life-saving grace" for Deoxys before this, feelings are not as simple as retaliation.
After more than a year of getting along, Xia Chen has completely treated Deoxys as his own elf.
Moreover, from another perspective, Deoxys controlled by Team Rocket will inevitably be used as a tool to achieve their evil purposes.
In order to prevent this from happening, he must also rescue Deoxys from Team Rocket.
But how to rescue...the most important thing is to first find out the location of Deoxys.
…………
"By the way, can you sense the location of your companion?"
Xia Chen suddenly remembered that in the movie version, two elves could send messages to each other by releasing aurora-like light curtains.
Maybe this can be an important clue?
Unfortunately, Deoxys shook his head slightly.
The message passed to Xia Chen was that it was originally possible, but something blocked it, and now it cannot.
"Okay, then let's think of other ways."
Although it was a pity, Xia Chen became more and more certain that another Deoxys was on the Rockets.
But just blankly said to Sakaki, "I know the other Deoxys is with you, hand it over quickly"?
This kind of thing sounds silly. Of course, Xia Chen would not be so naive as to think that Sakaki would give in.
Xia Chen didn't even think he would admit it.
After thinking about it, Xia Chen felt that the most perfect plan might be to wait and wait——
Anyway, if Team Rocket wants to do something big, it will definitely rely on the power of the legendary elves, so they will naturally be able to see the Deoxys when the time comes.
He told his son Deoxys about this plan which was not really a plan, and the latter readily agreed.
He is not worried about the safety of his partners at all, because as long as the core is not destroyed and the meteorites are still there, they will be immortal.
As for waiting a little longer?
For their near-eternal life, that is even less of a problem.
Maybe Team Rocket will be destroyed by then, and time will not be able to leave any trace on them.
"Okay, let's go home first. Speaking of which, why don't we call Kriska and build a starry sky room on the roof for you?"
"Buzz~"
…………
at the same time.
Kanto region, Red Lotus Town, Team Rocket underground base.
Although it was only built five years ago, the guards and security measures here are second only to the headquarters among all Team Rocket bases.
With its vast area and advanced equipment, it is second to none.
And in the center of everything, a huge glass bottle filled with pipes stands in it.
Unknown liquids of different colors and compositions are slowly poured into bottles and jars through hoses.
At the end of all the hose links is a curled-up, human-like elf, more like the dreamy elf from the legendary "Elf Ancestor".
If Xia Chen were present, he would definitely be able to blurt out its name——
