Chapter 298 The Dark Scientist
When the owner of the Wind Dew Pavilion arrived after hearing the news, and heard from the investigator that the recent storms in Fuki City might be related to Team Plasma behind this evil person, he immediately revealed an extremely disgusted look in his eyes towards the person from the evil organization in front of him.
This left the Plasma Team member, who had a crush on the young Flying-type gym leader, feeling utterly helpless.
"I...I...I'm not...I..."
"Investigator! Did this incident happen inside the Tower of Paradise? I've been busy dealing with planes wrecked by the storm and rescuing Pokémon in distress, so I haven't had time to investigate. But as the Gym Leader, I have to take responsibility for something that threatens Zephyr City. Let me handle this..."
Kazeru is a pretty young woman who owns the museum. As the star pilot of Fukiyori City, she has many fans, including members of Team Plasma. She's speaking to Zeki with a serious expression, showing great responsibility.
But Ze Shu shook his head.
"I will take care of the Tower of Heaven. But you, Master of the Wind and Dew Pavilion, should keep an eye on the Tower of Heaven. If anything seems amiss, I would like to ask you to evacuate the people of Fubuki City in time."
"After all, if the enemy can summon so many storms and weather changes, then if we go inside, the situation might become even more unpredictable."
"This..." Feng Lu wanted to say something more.
But Zeki still stopped attacking her, then pointed to the expressionless Team Plasma members on the ground, and, with Deoxys and Hoopa on his shoulder, walked towards the Tower of Heaven.
After a moment of stunned silence, Higana quickly followed.
The Tower of Paradise has five stories, and just like its name suggests, it is pure white, as white as paradise itself. As the burial place for Pokémon, the people of Unova hope that the Pokémon sleeping within can enjoy the tranquility and beauty of paradise.
Stepping inside, tranquil sunlight streams in through the high-hanging window screens, illuminating the piled bricks and tiles, and the neatly arranged shrines. Every detail here reflects people's remembrance and affection for the deceased Pokémon.
Even Higana became cautious in this place.
"Ze Shu, do you think those bad guys would really set up a base in a place like this?"
"Probably, and it would probably be quite dangerous," Ze Shu replied casually, glancing around.
"How did you know?" Higana asked curiously.
"Because as soon as the Wind Dew Pavilion Master mentioned that she was going to the Tower of Heaven, the Plasma Team members who secretly admired her immediately gave her a 'no' look, practically implying that Wind Dew would definitely encounter danger inside."
"But this first floor might not be dangerous," Ze Shu said, choosing to walk towards the stairs leading to the upper floor.
Hupa nervously clung to Ze Shu's shoulder, yet bravely glared at the upper level.
Deoxys also constantly emits a tiny psychic power, alerting itself to all dangers around it—as a psychic Pokémon, it gives some kind of warning when a crisis is coming.
Like this moment.
"Soo!"
A sense of crisis arose, and Deochis's eyes suddenly narrowed, emitting a warning sound.
But the second layer remained calm.
This left Deoxys's psychic energy fluctuations frozen in place.
Here, just like on the first floor, there is still a clean and dust-free shrine, with black and white portraits of Pokémon reflected on it, the photos showing beautiful moments between them and their trainers during their lifetimes.
Even the usually wary Deoxys was stunned when it saw these Pokémon photos.
Ze Shu also noticed a black and white photo of a fire moth in an inconspicuous corner.
The photo shows that the volcano moth is well cared for; its wings shimmer and even the horns on either side of its head are exceptionally long and curved. Next to the moth in the photo is a burly man with ample hair and a braid, displaying a hearty smile.
"It's Adek..." Zeki recognized the man; he was the currently missing champion of Unova.
In front of the Volcarona's grave lay a few fresh flowers and some Pokémon food. Judging from the dust on it and the vibrancy of the flowers, it hadn't been there long.
"Let's go up," Ze Shu said.
"Yes! Let's go save Mayali!" Huba said, mustering his courage.
Upon reaching the third floor, the situation was no different from the two floors below.
Deoxys also sensed the impending danger. Although its previous two attempts to unleash its superpowers had backfired, this time it still issued a warning, unleashing its superpowers as a protective shield.
This time, however, its warning was successful.
Suddenly, three brown beams of light, radiating terrifying power, pierced through the neatly arranged shrines inside the Tower of Heaven and shot out from the opposite side of the Tower of Heaven!
boom!!
The three beams of light all struck Deoxys's superpowered shield, producing a deafening sound. Deoxys's shield even shook violently, almost collapsing.
Fortunately, before its protective shield dissipated and shattered, the three beams of light could not be sustained and were the first to disappear.
Nevertheless, some of the beams of light that were deflected by the Deoxys shield still managed to blast a large hole in one of the walls of the Tower of Heaven.
"What's going on!" Higanbana was startled, but reacted quickly, gripping the Poké Ball tightly.
"Soo!" Deoxys also stared intently at the opposite side.
Three Pokémon appeared there, purple Bug Pokémon.
Their outer shells are all covered in purple armor, and they are hunched over with their backs exposed. The gleaming muzzle of a high-tech cannon is visible on its arched back, and there is still some smoke from the cannon after it has been fired.
"Yes, yes! That one!" Higanbana pointed at them, trying hard to remember, "That one! The one I saw information about in that Plasma Team underground base, the modified Pokémon, called..."
'
"Genesis," Ze Shu added for her.
There are still three.
"Yes, yes!" Higana said earnestly.
These "Mythical Pokémon" are modified versions of the Bug Pokémon that dominated ancient times 300 million years ago. In ancient times, they were hailed as the "strongest hunters," and with this high-tech armor, they are truly...
"They are not yet adapted. Moreover, they are resisting, resisting the armor that binds them."
Ze Shu looked at the three Genesis. Some of their joints were trembling, and their arm movements were stiff. This was clearly a sign of their resistance to the armor.
The control armors appeared to have been given orders to attack them, and they were unable to disobey.
The cannons on their backs were about to unleash a terrifying light.
Upon seeing this, Deoxys did not stubbornly defend itself. Instead, it quickly flew forward, meeting the aim of their "high-tech beam cannons," and arrived at the side of a Genesect before they could fire.
Then, Deoxys unleashed orange and blue tentacles that spiraled like DNA, wrapping them around a Genesect's body and forcefully turning the Genesect around, pointing its gleaming cannon at its companion.
Genesect's "high-tech beam cannon" seems to be a terrifying move that requires a lot of energy.
During the condensation process, the Genesects moved slowly, only able to watch helplessly as Deoxys "controlled" them, unable to budge an inch.
Since the footsteps cannot be moved an inch, and the attack of the "high-tech light cannon" cannot be canceled, then...
boom!!
Three Genesis blasted out their light cannons.
However, one of them blasted at two of its companions that were almost lined up together. The other two blasted at the Genesect possessed by Deoxys!
The beams of light, brimming with terrifying power, roared and crisscrossed, with all three Genesects and Deoxys within their attack range.
But Deoxys was prepared. In a few moments, he returned to Ze Shu's side and watched the pillar of light gradually fade away.
As fellow "Phantom Beasts" with combat abilities, Deoxys, being newly born and still weak, should be unable to contend with three Genesects. In particular, Genesects' insect-type nature is effective against Deoxys.
However, the difference between them is that Genesis is constrained by technology, like a cocoon.
Deoxys, however, is free.
As a Pokémon capable of going toe-to-toe with Rayquaza and shattering Rayquaza's prestige in a single battle, its combat abilities are far more unpredictable.
Now, thanks to Deochis's "little trick".
The three Genosects were no longer resembling insects.
Their high-tech purple armor was tattered, and even their cannons were crooked, making it unlikely they could fire a single shot. All three were in the same condition, differing only in degree.
And on the third floor of this Tower of Heaven, two more large holes were blasted out amidst the intersecting beams of terrifying light. Together with the hole that had been blasted out earlier, the sunlight streaming in through the three holes intertwined.
Deochis was basking in the sunlight.
At this moment, it felt that this combat experience wasn't bad.
"Soo!"
"Great." Ze Shu smiled and responded to Deoxys.
This Deoxys with the black gem on his chest seems to be quite skilled in combat and enjoys it.
To be able to find a way to defeat these three Genesects effortlessly in such a short time and successfully implement it—Sawaki felt that this combat ability should be "one" stronger than Sakaki's two Deoxys.
Zeshu then looked at Genesect, which had become tattered and broken.
Their actions are not under their own control.
"If that's the case, then the people controlling them are clearly at the top."
Ze Shu looked up.
But going up another floor, the fourth floor of the Tower of Heaven, there was no movement or anyone there. It wasn't until he reached the top floor of the Tower of Heaven again, the fifth floor, that Ze Shu finally saw the first person in the Tower of Heaven.
-
"I expected you would come looking for us, but I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. And my three latest creations couldn't even hold you off for three minutes."
In the center of the fifth floor of the Tower of Heaven, a man dressed in a white technological robe and wearing a high-tech mask maintained a gentle smile and addressed Ze Shu and the others who had come up.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Akromma, and I am currently a scientist with the Plasma Team."
Ze Shu was not surprised to see him.
After all, the moment he saw Genesect, he knew who was behind it all.
After all, the manuscript about modifying Genesect, which was discovered at the Plasma Team Base in the Dream Remnants, was signed by Akromma.
Ze Shu spread his hands towards Akromma: "According to our alliance's terminology, you're a wanted criminal known as the 'Dark Scientist.'"
Akromar chuckled immediately: "Ha! I don't agree with that label. I'm hardly a dark force; on the contrary, I'm a scientist of light. I'm helping Pokémon find new places to evolve!"
"Although Genesect's modifications aren't perfect right now, one day I'll transform them into perfect, obedient Pokémon!"
When faced with the arrival of Zeki, Akromma did not show any hostility towards the enemy. Instead, he spoke casually about his thoughts, as if he were very familiar with Zeki.
Some progress has already been made...
Akromah took out a red cartridge and summoned a different-colored—bright red Genesect, inserting the cartridge into a slot on its back.
"I'll name this the Flame Cascade." The Genesiste that's inserted will gain fire-attribute abilities, and that terrifying high-tech beam cannon that just blasted at you will also be filled with fiery heat.
"I plan to create 'Ice Gadgets,' 'Demon Gadgets,' or 'Fairy Gadgets'... Just imagine how magnificent this research project is! Genesect's potential will evolve to a new level in my hands!"
Akroma's eyes gleamed with fervor when he spoke of this.
His usual gentle smile looked distorted at this moment.
He even cast a glance at Deoxys next to Zeki, as if he wished he could also modify Deoxys.
Zeshu sighed: "You only talk about how high Pokémon will rise in your hands, but you don't talk at all about whether the Pokémon are willing to be transformed into a metal lump that is inconvenient to live in."
"It's a pity that your cassette tapes will probably never be released."
"Why?" Akromma's smile vanished. He asked, "Just because I met you, the legendary investigator?"
Ze Shu nodded: "I will catch you."
Akromah narrowed her eyes: "I won't let you catch me."
Then, he glanced at Hupa, who was clinging to Zeshu's shoulder, and smiled again: "Why do you think I have the nerve to run away when I knew you were coming?"
"After all, with your achievements as an investigator, my accomplishments as a lowly scientist and wanted criminal are nothing compared to what's to come."
Before Ze Shu could answer, he answered his own question: "It's not because of the Genesect beside me, after all, none of the three could stop you just now. It's because of... this."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rumbling sound rang out.
There was a rustling sound from the steel shell of Genesect beside him, and then a unconscious, bound girl was lifted out from the steel shell of Genesect.
Hupa's eyes widened suddenly: "It's Mayali!! You really captured Mayali!!"
