Chapter 281 The Hatching of Two Fossil Pokémon
Why, why did this happen...?
"I had another chance to meet the Dragon God, I had everything prepared, and the Dragon God even agreed to take a photo with me... These were three wonderful things, so why did it turn out like this?!"
Higana pouted, looking aggrieved.
As soon as Zeki pressed the shutter button, Rayquaza seemed to have completed its mission, dropping her to the ground before turning and flying into the clouds, disappearing without a trace, shattering Higanbana's wish to take another picture.
She could only look at the "group photos" displayed on Ze Shu's camera, and the more she looked, the more she burst into tears.
In the photo, Rayquaza strikes a cool and majestic pose, perched in the sky. However, in its mouth, it carries a disheveled woman struggling with her limbs twitching. This stark contrast makes the whole photo comical—well, comical for the woman.
"We'll definitely be laughed at! We definitely will!" Higana cried, then saw Hoopa pointing at her and laughing in the distance. She puffed out her cheeks. "We're being laughed at now!"
Ze Shu smiled and said, "It seems your Dragon God does have some ulterior motives."
""
Higana glared at Ze Shu and said weakly, "You're not allowed to slander Lord Dragon God!"
Ze Shu:
All I can say is that being a simp is truly amazing.
"Do you still want this photo?" Ze Shu held up the camera in his hand.
"I...I..." Higana hesitated, then gritted her teeth, "I want it!"
No matter what, it's still a photo with the Dragon God!
Even if showing it out would be ridiculed, it's not a bad thing to look at it privately... in private.
"Hmph!" Higana patted her chest, comforting herself, "At least I have a photo with the Dragon God... something you don't even have, Zeki."
Ze Shu: "Hmm...actually, I guess I do have some."
Higana was dumbfounded. "What?!"
Ze Shu thought for a moment, then opened the Hoenn League website, clicked on a highlighted event, and showed the largest image to Xi Jiana: "Hey, this group photo."
The title of this incident is: [The man who caused legendary Pokémon to wreak havoc has now disappeared!]
The scene depicted in the painting is above the clouds.
Rayquaza's two ferocious, azure dragon heads emerged from the clouds, with crimson chains wrapped around its body, eventually merging into a vague human figure on one of the dragon heads.
The whole scene looks like it's "riding a dragon".
As Higana looked at it, she puffed out her cheeks and muttered weakly, "What kind of group photo is this...?"
T
Despite her stubbornness, she sniffed, her face clearly showing disbelief.
This "unacceptability" couldn't hide a hint of envy.
At that moment, a flash of silver light appeared in the distance.
Daigo arrived riding a shiny Metagross. As soon as he got close, he shouted, "Sawaki! Calm down! Let's talk this out..."
'
"Um?
'
"what?"
Ze Shu and Xi Jiana looked at the champion who had suddenly arrived with strange curiosity.
"What are you talking about?"
Daigo: "Huh?"
He was stunned for a moment, looking around. Now, it was just an ordinary camping scene. Rayquaza, which had made the Devon Corporation so nervous, was nowhere to be seen.
Daigo asked cautiously, "Isn't Rayquaza here...?"
"
"I was here just now," Ze Shu replied.
Daigo said, "Then now..."
"Hmm...it should be back in the clouds by now..." Ze Shu glanced at the sky a few times before laughing, "It's probably munching on a...donut now."
"roar--"
The clouds churned, and an angry dragon roar echoed down, followed by a faint dragon silhouette flying away into the distance.
Daigo was confused about the situation, but he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Sawaki was obviously not going to do anything "big" right now.
"What are you thinking about?" Sawaki punched Daigo on the shoulder and laughed.
"I thought..." Daigo paused, then chuckled and playfully punched Sawaki. "But then again, I didn't expect you to do that so suddenly, especially since you informed us beforehand. It's just that my father was too anxious, so he sent me..."
Higana suddenly snorted coldly, "Hmph! He's so nervous he'll die!"
Daigo gave an awkward smile as he met Higana's hostile gaze.
Now, thanks to Ze Shu's major deeds, the conflict between the Meteor Dwellers and Devon Corporation has become somewhat delicate.
Daigo changed the subject, saying, "The floating bubbles are recuperating in Devon's weather simulation room, and they're recovering quite well."
"What's special is... those floating bubbles that should have looked like snow clouds seem to be working exceptionally hard to absorb weather energy... even the staff from the weather research institute who rushed over were amazed by their results..."
Ze Shu nodded and smiled, "That's good."
"Oh, right..." Daigo seemed to remember something and said, "The two fossils that you and Miss Blue gave me should be close to reviving soon. If you'd like, you might want to go and see them. Even though they are fossil Pokémon, they will have a kind of affinity for the first person they see when they are revived, just like when a Pokémon egg is hatching."
"Miss Xiao Lan is already there."
Ze Shu: "Then I'll go too."
On the west side of Kazna stands a brand new Devon Corporation building—don't ask why it's brand new.
Following Daigo, Sawaki entered the [Fossil Revival Room] on the twenty-third floor of the building. Behind him followed Higanbana, who was reluctant but also keenly observing the room, secretly plotting something.
Inside this "Fossil Resurrection Chamber," there stand rows of large steel "eggs," presumably the resurrection devices. And in front of these "eggs," many researchers linger.
"We are the world's first company to successfully develop fossil revival technology." Daigo led Sawaki to a separate room, where there were two large eggs. "Your fossils... are waiting to be revived in here."
Ze Shu nodded, walked over to the two large eggs, and looked at Xiao Lan.
Besides the researchers, there was another stranger in the room, a dignified young woman sitting in the corner, seemingly taking notes.
-
But this dignified girl immediately lost her composure after hearing that the fossils were Ze Shu and Xiao Lan.
She stood up abruptly and walked up to Ze Shu and Xiao Lan, her face filled with excitement and eagerness: "Hello! I...I heard you, is this fossil yours?!"
"I...I'm Cuckoo, the Gym Leader of Kazna City. I'm also very interested in all kinds of rocks, especially fossils, so when I heard that two fossils here were about to come back to life, I shamelessly came here!"
Xiao Lan blinked and tentatively asked, "So...?"
'
Du Juan slapped her forehead in annoyance: "Oh... I, I didn't mean to take over your fossils."
"I just... just want to record the data of Aerodactyl and Archaeopteryx after their resurrection, and I want to battle them. I'm currently a student at a trainer school, and I want to learn everything about Pokémon through knowledge and experience."
"Is...is that alright?"
Is he the owner or a student...?
Ze Shu and Xiao Lan exchanged a glance.
Ze Shu said, "Of course."
Xiao Lan smiled and nodded.
Du Juan smiled joyfully: "Thank you!"
At this point, a researcher noted, "Archaeopteryx will be revived in about a minute."
Upon hearing this, Du Juan patted her chest and laughed, "Then I'll go out first, so as not to disturb your first meeting with these two children."
So, the researchers simply gave some instructions, and in the blink of an eye, only Ze Shu and Xiao Lan remained in the room where the fossil had been brought to life. Even Xi Jiana, who was clueless about what to do, was pulled out by Du Juan.
Ze Shu originally wanted to go out and keep watch first, since the first to be resurrected was Xiao Lan's ancestral bird.
But just as he was about to leave, Xiao Lan's slightly stiff hand grabbed him, and he stayed.
At this moment, one of the "large egg" incubators was emitting a yellowish-brown glow, symbolizing the revival of a fossil Pokémon.
-
"Ze Shu... is coming out..." Xiao Lan's stiff hand kept tugging at Ze Shu's shoulder.
"Didn't you say you weren't afraid of birds?" Ze Shu asked with a smile.
"I...I'm really not afraid!" Xiao Lan puffed out her cheeks and let go of her hand.
With a "click," the incubation device was opened like a neatly peeled egg, and then a small bird with red, blue, and yellow colors appeared in Ze Shu and Xiao Lan's sight.
Its body is covered in messy, tangled feathers, but its head is bald with few feathers. It has a wide, straight beak, and its wings and feet are covered with rough, sharp claws, making it look exactly like a primitive little bird.
She can't exactly be called cute...
But at least it's kind of ugly-cute.
Ze Shu observed it with great interest and said, "It is said that this Protobird is the ancestor of all bird Pokémon in the world."
But Xiao Lan's body was already frozen, unable to answer.
He gripped Ze Shu's shoulder tightly again, his knuckles turning white.
Ze Shu chuckled to himself; this little blue thing said it wasn't afraid.
At this moment, the Archaeopteryx was nestled in the center of the eggshell, its eyelids, which were translucent amber in color, were half-closed and were trembling slightly with its breathing.
Suddenly, it opened its eyes and immediately saw Ze Shu and Xiao Lan!
"Gah....Gah gah gah?!"
The newborn bird, full of energy, leaped out of its egg, calling out primal notes, and flew straight towards Ze Shu and Xiao Lan. It pounced right between Ze Shu and Xiao Lan, and was caught by Ze Shu's hand.
"Gagagagaga!!!"
This Archaeopteryx seems to be a chatterbox, its beak never stops, and its wings are flapping happily.
But it's that sound...
It cannot be described as tactful or elegant.
It can only be described as raw and unrefined.
Xiao Lan's body had already stiffened into a zombie, and her hands gripped Ze Shu's shoulder so tightly it hurt.
Ze Shu rubbed the head of the Archaeopteryx, making a clump of feathers, but it made the Archaeopteryx even more excited and let out a few loud "caws," clearly very happy with the touch.
Ze Shu rubbed it and said softly, "Little Blue, Archaeopteryx is waiting for your response."
The words whispered in Xiao Lan's ear, making her ear itch slightly.
Upon hearing Ze Shu's words, the Archaeopteryx turned its gaze to Little Blue: "Quack quack!"
Xiao Lan's eyes flickered. She opened her mouth, froze for a few seconds, and then managed to utter a single, difficult sentence: "It..."
What is it calling out...?
Ze Shu laughed and said, "It calls you Mom."
Xiao Lan's face stiffened: "...Mom?"
The Archaeopteryx excitedly flapped its wings in agreement: "Caw caw!"
Then it affectionately bumped into Ze Shu with its straight beak, cawing loudly.
Little Blue wanted to reach out and touch it, but couldn't bring herself to do it, and eventually withdrew her hand. She then asked again, "What...what is it meowing about now...?"
"9
Zeshu didn't answer this time, he just kept rubbing the Archaeopteryx.
After a long pause, Xiao Lan gave a puzzled "Hmm": "Ze Shu?"
Ze Shu paused for a moment before saying strangely, "...It was calling me 'Dad' just now."
Xiao Lan exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?!"
But this exclamation contained a different meaning.
Little Blue's eyes turned incredulously to Archaeopteryx.
And Archaeopteryx also "bumped" into Little Blue at the right time—this was how the newborn bird expressed its affection in such a simple way.
This time, when faced with Archaeopteryx's charge, Blue's body stiffened as usual, but she bravely raised her hand and slowly stroked Archaeopteryx's bald forehead.
The Archaeopteryx rammed even harder into Little Blue's palm, feeling the pale yet gradually warming touch: "Caw caw caw!"
"Are you Dad? Am I Mom?" Xiao Lan asked again.
Ze Shu smirked and said, "Yes, at least that's how it is for the Archaeopteryx."
Xiao Lan suddenly laughed and said, "Then I feel it's actually not bad. This is our child, I shouldn't... be afraid of it..."
'
She stroked the smooth head of the progenitor bird and gradually felt more comfortable.
Seeing this, Ze Shu smiled helplessly: "Indeed."
Just then, a "click" sound rang out again.
The "big egg" resurrection device next to the Proto-Bird also lit up, and before the eggshell could be cracked open, a wild roar came from inside.
"roar-!!!"
The Archaeopteryx was startled and quickly shrank into Little Blue's arms.
"Aerodactyl is about to hatch!" Steven's voice rang out from outside the room. "Aerodactyl is a ferocious Pokémon from ancient times. Even though it has just been revived, it may still be wild and untamed. Sawaki, you need to be prepared."
Just then, the incubation device made a noise, with a few clanging sounds, clearly the fossil pterosaur hitting the wall.
Ze Shu walked up to the incubation device and said, "Let's open this eggshell too."
The researcher's voice came through: "Okay!"
Then, with another "click," the eggshell opened incredibly quickly.
then.
A purplish-gray pterosaur burst forth from it, wings outstretched.
It glared at him, its eyes wide with fury, its mouth agape: "Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"
I am the terminator of the sky!!
You think you can trap me with this tiny iron egg?!
The fossil pterosaur cried out and, upon seeing Ze Shu, pounced on him.
Its mouth was wide open, brimming with malevolent energy.
Truly untamed!
Outside the room, Du Juan witnessed this scene and exclaimed, "Mr. Ze Shu, please be careful!"
but.
Faced with the onslaught of the fossil pterosaur and its defiant roar.
Ze Shu raised his hand.
Facing the gaping maw of the fossil pterosaur.
One press!
There was a loud "bang".
"roar!!!"
The fossil pterosaur let out a pitiful cry as its head was pinned to the ground by Ze Shu's single hand, unable to break free.
The way its wings flapped didn't resemble that of a sky overlord, but rather that of a powerless rooster.
