Chapter 343 The Strange Little Meteor
Based on what we already know, Leo's opponent, Martha, was the prize from the previous champion, which tells us that this so-called "fighting machine" Pokémon is actually not strong, and is probably just an ordinary Pokémon.
However, in the Orei region, its status as a "Pokémon" is extremely precious.
Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd surrounding the Iron Arena, Ze Shu simply accepted the jet-black Poké Ball handed to him, nodded, and left.
"Damn it! This guy got such a rare Pokémon! Why doesn't he seem excited at all?!"
"Yes, yes! I also want to see what kind of fighting machine it is!"
"It might even be stronger than the previous Masana!"
Huangtie Hotel is the only large hotel in Huangtie Town.
Despite being called a grand hotel, the rooms were actually quite basic: a large bed, a large-screen TV with static, a few chairs, and a table—that was all. However, they were clean.
Millerton huddled in a corner, munching on a sand-stained sandwich that Ze Shu had bought from the street.
Glaceon, its icicle-like ears drooping, lay sprawled on the pristine white bedding. The temperature of Orei wasn't ideal for an Ice-type Pokémon like it. Vulpix initially refused to come out, preferring to sleep in its Poké Ball, so Zeju found an opportunity to teleport it back to the spaceship to play.
"We've won! And we got more than just this Poké Ball, we got this too." Zeshu sat next to Glaceon, pulling out what looked like a...
Holding the ticket, he smiled and said, "That Lord Disju admires my talent and is willing to take time this afternoon to wait for me somewhere in Huangtie Town. I'll enter with this ticket."
"It's still a long time until afternoon," Higanbana said dejectedly, slumping onto the table. Then she shifted her gaze to the jet-black Poké Ball in Zeki's hand and said excitedly, "Let me see! Zeki, your prize!"
"Bu-i?"
Glaceon was also curious about its new companion, so it reached out its little hand and poked at the Poké Ball, triggering a switch inside.
With a loud "bang," a round, pentagonal creature, black and emitting an obsidian-like glow, appeared on the bed. Each side of its pentagon had a white horn, and its eyes resembled a nebula.
Higanbana: "Huh?!"
She stared intently at what was being released, but the more she looked, the more confused and bewildered she became.
"What is this?"
"How could I not recognize you? Do you know Xiao Lan?"
Little Blue also looked at the thing: "Hmm... it's a Pokémon I'm not very familiar with. It looks like a small meteorite."
Pokémon in the Orei region are all imported from other regions. The Pokémon used as prizes at the Pyrite Arena, theoretically, could be from any region.
Sawaki: "This should be a Pokémon from the Alola region."
Higana asked in surprise, "What is it?"
Ze Shu: "Little Meteorite."
Xiao Lan quickly found the information: "This Pokémon lives in the skies above the Alola region. It is said that they are born in the stratosphere and ozone layer, surviving by absorbing dust particles from the air."
"But as they absorb more and more dust particles, their outer shells become heavier and heavier. Eventually, these small meteorites fall from the sky, creating a unique phenomenon in the Alola region."
"After the impact, the intense force will cause the outer shell of the small meteorites to crack, revealing their inner core. However, if their inner core remains exposed on the ground, it will quickly dissipate and die. Only by capturing them in a Poké Ball during this time can they have a slight chance of survival."
"The kind-hearted people of Alola call this phenomenon 'Starfall.' Whenever a small meteorite falls, people who notice the movement rush to the crash site to quickly salvage the small meteorite whose core has been exposed."
"But," Ze Shu looked at the small meteorite that had appeared motionless on the mattress, "it doesn't have an outer shell in its current state. What's in front of us is its core. Black."
Higana's eyes widened, realizing something, and she looked at Little Meteorite: "Does that mean this guy is going to die?!"
Ze Shu asked curiously, "But the core of this little meteorite shows no signs of dissipating."
"Yes," Xiao Lan added, "The data says that the outward manifestation of the small meteorite's dissipation is that its starlight is becoming increasingly dim. And now, it's exposed to the air..."
"Not only did it not dim, but the black light actually grew even stronger."
"This shows that even though its core is exposed to air that is not part of the ozone layer, it can still survive and thrive."
Xiao Lan found this phenomenon strange.
"and."
"The cores of normal small meteorites have different colors—red, yellow, orange, purple, green, and blue—based on the air particles they consume," Little Blue said curiously. "But I've never found a small meteorite with a black core!"
But the little meteorite in front of him, which was used as a prize for Zeki winning the Pyrite Arena championship, was black.
Sawaki: "Perhaps because it's a Dark Pokémon."
These so-called fighting machine-like Pokémon are naturally created by the Shadow Organization, devoid of emotions, just empty shells, and are dark Pokémon that only obey orders.
"Then, then, how can we help it turn back?" Higanbana puffed out her cheeks and approached Orei. She naturally understood how Dark Pokémon technology harmed Pokémon. "That Shadow Organization is despicable!"
"The only way I know is to quietly spend time with it and let its consciousness slowly awaken on its own. But it still depends on the Pokémon; some dark Pokémon may never awaken in their entire lives."
Ze Shu shook his head.
"As for other methods... hah."
"Let's see what Lord Disju has to say this afternoon."
Because of the concentration of the mining industry, Huangtie Town also has an "underground city," which is said to have been built by utilizing the mine tunnels that had been dug through and were no longer containing any ore.
Disju is located in this "underground city".
The entrance was guarded by two henchmen.
"Small meteorite... Big explosion."
The small, jet-black meteorite flashed a few times before crashing into the Pokémon released by the two henchmen—Sandshrew and Nidoran.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
A series of explosions rang out!
It was accompanied by Nidoran's wailing.
The two henchmen stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"You intruder! My name is Disju... Hey, hey, hey! This invitation... You're the champion of today's Pyrite Arena?! You're here to see Lord Disju?! Why didn't you say so sooner?!"
"As soon as I arrived, you released your Pokémon and started attacking. And you're blaming me for not telling you sooner?"
"Please! Please come in!"
The two henchmen, with stiff faces, refused to admit their mistakes, but simply stepped aside to allow Ze Shu to enter the so-called "underground city," which was actually a mine tunnel.
The little meteorite swayed its dark, glowing body and floated unsteadily behind Ze Shu.
This little meteorite, presented as a prize, seems to...
They are very good at dealing with the Big Bang.
Before coming here, he had tested the little meteorite many times and found that, apart from the move "Dark Rush" which is unique to dark Pokémon, this little meteorite only knows the move "Explosion" or "Shatter".
No matter what other move name Zeki says, it will only explode.
Even the room at the Ironwood Hotel was blasted to pieces after Ze Shu said "become round" and the little meteorite actually unleashed the "big bang".
Moreover, although it looks shaky now, the "big bang" it just made doesn't seem to have done much damage to it.
Therefore, it can unleash the Big Bang multiple times between Nidoran and Sandshrew, a move that other Pokémon can only do once.
Ze Shu couldn't help but sigh.
This little meteorite is really special.
It is currently still in the state of a dark Pokémon, with no interaction whatsoever, and only obeys his various commands without emotion, unleashing the same big explosion.
The main theme is "You say your moves, I'll make my big explosion."
As Ze Shu walked through this underground city, he could feel occasional tremors, and the yellow soil above was shaken down from time to time. Before long, he reached the end. There was a tightly closed iron door with a button on the side, presumably to open it.
Ze Shu pressed it down.
The door opened.
But what Zeshu felt first was not the scene inside the door, but a trembling sound that seemed to explode in his ears like a tangible musical note.
"Hehe! Ha! Hehe!"
In my line of sight, a man wearing a revealing top and sporting a red and white afro was dancing on a high platform in the middle. He was doing the moonwalk and twisting his tall, thin body.
Around him were four hapless kappa, their beaks agape as if they were having a blast. To the rhythm of deafening music, their chubby bodies spun and leaped, and the little grass on their hats swayed with their dance steps.
Ze Shu finally understood why the ground trembled when he approached.
Because it's just too noisy and the vibrations are too great here!
Ze Shu didn't want to get involved. He took a step back, pressed the button again, and the door closed. The door was extremely soundproof, and the noise from the disco stopped.
Zeshu only reopened the door when the ground stopped trembling.
Disju looked at him with disgust on the iron stage.
"Heh heh heh! I can sense your disdain for me, Lord Disju! Kid, you truly have no musical talent whatsoever! You can't even appreciate this kind of art!"
If this kind of ear-shaking disco is considered the art of music...
That Zeshu would rather not have these so-called cells.
"So you're the champion of our Iron Arena, huh? Hmph, even though I wasn't there to watch the fight, you didn't do a great job! You can't even appreciate my music!"
As she spoke, Disju looked at the little meteorite floating beside Zeshu and showed a pained expression.
"Ha, this little meteorite as a prize! You got a good deal!"
"If it weren't for the fact that the Orei region is truly lacking supplies, and my two men who were sent out to catch Pokémon have disappeared without a trace, leaving me with no other Pokémon to fill the gaps, I wouldn't have given you this little Meteorite as a prize!"
"Did you know that our organization went out and captured quite a few small meteorites? Hmm, let me think, at least dozens, maybe even hundreds, before we successfully turned this one into a fighting machine?"
Zeqi: "What about the others?"
Disju scratched his red and white afro in frustration: "The other little meteorites, for some reason, the light emanating from their bodies grew dimmer and dimmer, and eventually they all died. What bad luck!"
"Ha!" Disju turned to Zeju, "Do you know why I'm telling you this? You know, right? This Pokémon is unusual. We call it the Dark Pokémon. Only by possessing this Pokémon can we reach the pinnacle and rule the world!"
Ze Shu: "So, you're explaining all this to me in detail because you want to recruit me? To join your so-called organization?"
Disju said matter-of-factly, "What else? Every champion of the Iron Arena I host joins our organization! You're no exception! You took our Dark Pokémon and think you can escape?"
Zeki: "What if I don't want to join?"
Disju sneered, "No one can escape the grasp of Lord Disju!!"
Ze Shu remained noncommittal, instead saying, "You just said that two of your men you sent out have disappeared. Doesn't that mean they've escaped your grasp?"
Disju was about to retort.
But then he saw Ze Shu do something, and suddenly a blue light appeared in the air, accompanied by a faint "scratching" sound, and the two of them were thrown out violently.
The two men, sporting similar afros to his, rolled on the ground, groaning in pain.
"You two—Diszhong and Qiu Wansui!?"
Disju was momentarily stunned by the sudden appearance of the two people.
When Disizhong and Qiu Wansui looked up and saw him, their voices were filled with grief: "Boss Disiqiu, save us!! This person, this person... is a demon!!"
"You—" Disju realized something, and instantly turned to look at Ze Shu, shouting in a hoarse voice, "Ludicolo, Water Cannon!"
The four Lucky Kappa surrounding him let out a simultaneous "Hey!" They opened their beaks and suddenly unleashed four massive water cannons at Ze Shu. Judging by the power, if a normal person were hit by all of them, they would be unconscious for at least a few days.
"This is the strength of Lord Disju as one of the four executives!"
Seeing the imposing presence he had created, Disju spoke with smug satisfaction and even ecstasy, rhythmically covering his crotch. But the way he did this was not as dashing as Michael Jackson's; instead, it looked incredibly comical.
He had reason to be proud. The four Lucky Kappa's massive water cannons were indeed incredibly powerful compared to the weaklings fighting each other in the Iron Arena. Dominating the Orei region wouldn't be a problem at all.
can.
Zeshu didn't come from Oure.
"Block it."
He simply said that.
"Agas—!!!"
A burst of white light suddenly appeared before him, and Leighton roared as he made his grand entrance.
Driven by the crimson pulse, its body suddenly shone with dazzling sunlight, so bright that the power of the water cannons coming from in front of it was weakened by a fraction.
Then, with a single punch, Leighton's arm moved in a rainbow-like motion, easily shattering the incoming water cannons with a "smack".
"What?!"
Seeing this scene.
Disju's action of covering his crotch froze.
How could this person crack his water cannon so easily?!
He's really biting off more than he can chew... If he doesn't back down, the problem will just come knocking on his door!
