Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 613: The Book of Vermilion and Haizhe

On the World Tree, Naoki, Mewtwo, and Rayquaza stood on the huge branches, looking at the huge rock floating on the top of the World Tree not far away.

Mewtwo still maintains the form of Mega Mewtwo Y, and Rayquaza has not yet escaped from its Mega Evolution state.

Rayquaza looked at the stone in front of him with satisfaction. It was great. If this stone was here, there would be no problem!
Looking at Rayquaza's current appearance, the cool black scales, the mysterious ancient patterns, and the sacred golden tentacles, Naoki felt that this was truly a perfect Pokémon.

With such appearance, coupled with powerful strength and the title of overlord of the sky, the charm of Super Rayquaza is simply infinite!

How handsome! Naoki was amazed.

But then again, why hasn't Rayquaza mega evolved before?
The mega evolution of Rayquaza is very different from that of other ordinary Pokémon.

It does not need a trainer wearing a key stone, nor does it need to wear its own exclusive super stone. As long as it understands the exclusive move "Finishing Touch", it can complete the super evolution on its own.

Logically speaking, Rayquaza should be able to mega evolve, right?
Could it be that there is not enough energy stored in the Emperor’s organs?
The Emperor Organ is a special organ located in Rayquaza's throat that allows Rayquaza to store meteorite energy and convert it for its own use.

When the energy accumulates to a certain level, Rayquaza can activate it by adding the finishing touch, thereby changing its form and transforming into the powerful Super Rayquaza.

"So, it's very likely that the energy accumulated by Rayquaza before was not enough, and when it hit the boulder just now, it absorbed the energy dissipated by the boulder." Naoki guessed secretly in his heart.

Rayquaza completed its super evolution, which also made Naoki feel relieved.

Because Rayquaza's power has grown, it means that he will play a greater role in the Hoopa incident in the future.

At that time, if Original Groudon, Original Kyogre, Palkia, Dialga and other legendary Pokémon are controlled by Hoopa, they still have Mega Rayquaza to fight back.

Just like the black Rayquaza that was fighting against many others in the movie.

Moreover, taking back the boulder can also hinder the Flash Team's plan. For Naoki, this operation is a big win.

It's Mewtwo...

Naoki turned his head and looked at Mewtwo who was still in Y form on the other side.

Mewtwo had a complicated expression, his heart was full of doubts and confusion, and he was looking down at the palm of his hand in a daze.

What exactly is that force and why does it cause such changes in its body?
Looking at Mewtwo's actions, you can tell what it is thinking at the moment without asking.

So, Naoki said, "This is super evolution."

"Mega evolution?" Mewtwo raised his head and looked at Naoki, and the puzzled voice also came through telepathy.

Naoki nodded. "When a Pokémon breaks through its limits, the potential evolutionary factors in its body are stimulated. This releases the secret energy in the Pokémon's body, temporarily allowing the Pokémon to exert power beyond ordinary evolution. You should have felt it, too. This power makes you stronger."

Hearing this, Mewtwo first looked thoughtful, then turned his head to look at Rayquaza on the other side.

"Is that Rayquaza's appearance also a mega evolution?" it asked.

"Yes, in theory, every Pokémon can undergo mega evolution. This has existed since ancient times," Naoki replied.

"Since ancient times?" Chaomeng was a little surprised: "I was created by humans five years ago... Why do I have this kind of power?"

Naoki smiled slightly: "Doesn't this just prove that you are also a kind of Pokémon?"

Mewtwo was stunned for a moment, then relieved: "I understand."

Next, there is the issue of how to deal with this huge rock.

Naoki thought for a moment and asked, "Rayquaza, do you want to absorb all the energy in the boulder?"

"Roar!"

Rayquaza nodded the huge head, then turned his gaze to the boulder.

However, the energy contained in this huge rock is so enormous that even it cannot eat it all in a short period of time.

Therefore, this matter must have a long history!
However, Rayquaza soon came up with a new idea.

It looked at Naoki and said, "Roar!"

Naoki was stunned: "You mean, Jirachi and other Pokémon can also come here to absorb energy?"

Rayquaza immediately nodded its huge head, and when it saw that Naoki understood what it meant, a happy expression appeared on its face.

The energy on the World Tree is abundant. Neither it, Groudon, nor Kyogre need to absorb the energy in this boulder.

Why not share it with everyone!
Understanding what Rayquaza meant, Naoki smiled and nodded: "Okay then."

It just so happened that he also wanted to cut a batch of boulders into small pieces, and then make them into accessories such as keystone bracelets, keystone hairpins, and keystone brooches that trainers could carry.

Although he and Qishu may not be able to use it, after all, none of the Pokémon partners around them can mega evolve.

But in the future, when the little tree grows up, maybe he will encounter a Pokémon that can mega evolve. Then these key stones and the mega stones he collected will come in handy.

Naoki immediately asked Mewtwo to use the Psychic Blade to cut out a small part from the boulder.

Naoki originally wanted to ask Kelly to help with the processing, but suddenly remembered that Kelly was traveling.

After a brief thought, Naoki decided to do it himself at home since he happened to have nothing to do.

That night, Naoki ordered an angle grinder and some accessories such as bracelets and hairpins from the shopping app.

In order to receive the goods as soon as possible, he asked a deliveryman named Kuailong to pick up the package for him early the next morning.

Soon, the angle grinder was delivered to the ranch, and Naoki took out the stone fragments and began to try to make a keystone bracelet.

Even after being cut from the boulder, the stone fragments still emit colorful light.

While polishing, Naoki suddenly remembered something.

If he remembered correctly, this huge rock seemed to have fallen onto this planet from the universe?
Doesn't that mean that its essence is a meteorite from an alien planet?

Wait... this thing doesn't have radiation, does it?
But according to Fradari's research, the wavelength emitted by the boulder is exactly the same as the key stone carried by the trainer.

"It turns out that the physical constitution of people in the Pokémon world cannot be inferred according to common sense..." Naoki couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Soon, a bunch of keystone bracelets, keystone hairpins, and keystone brooches were completed.

More than a dozen key stone series props were made using only some scraps of the boulder. No wonder Fladali and Groudon in the anime would fight madly for this boulder.

At noon, Qishu returned to the ranch after get off work. As soon as she got home, she saw Naoki and a group of Pokémon fiddling with a bunch of strange objects.

"What is this?" she asked curiously.

"This? This is the key stone needed for Mega Evolution. It is the same as the Taijing Pearl in the Padia region. As long as the trainer carries it, the Pokémon can Mega Evolve." Naoki answered. Qishu immediately widened his eyes: "Where did you get such a precious thing?"

As far as she knew, this technology was developed in the Kalos region, and even in the Kalos region, not all trainers could obtain such precious Evolution Key Stones!
"Secret." Naoki said mysteriously.

Qishu immediately turned around and looked at Gulden.

Gu Ledun: "Ah, geez..."

It didn't know either, because it had been basking in the sun on the pasture all day yesterday. It only knew that Naoki went to the World Tree on the way.

Naoki didn't keep the secret any longer: "Actually, it was Rayquaza who led me to find them. These stones can be considered as one of Rayquaza's foods, so I asked it for some."

Hearing this, Qi Shu thought back to the super stones that Naoki had brought home from the Kalos region.

"Alas, it's a pity that we can't use our Pokémon at all." Qi Shu sighed helplessly.

The two of them couldn't help but look at the Pokémon around them.

On one side are Gul'ton, Babu Tubo, Frostmilk, Dragonite, Motorlizard, and Flutterfair...

On one side are Magnemite, Frog, Dream Monster, Big Electric Petrel, Electric Shock Monster, Naughty Thunder Bomb and Roentgen Cat...

When they thought of this, the couple felt very sad and sighed in unison.

"Ugh."

All the Pokémon looked at each other, wondering what had happened to their trainer.

Naoki took a small strawberry hairpin and put it away, and put all the others into the collection room for future use.

"I'll give this key stone hairpin to Xiaoshu as a present for his tenth birthday." Naoki said. The Dad brand hairpin will help the child trainer to have a smooth journey.

"I just hope Xiaoshu can help us realize our dream and capture a Pokémon that can mega evolve." Qishu also said hopefully.

*
In the blink of an eye, another six days have passed.

Naoki now seems to be retiring.

On days when he wasn't in class, he would stay at the ranch to take care of the children, play with the Pokémon, or sit in the garden on a lounge chair in the sun and read the latest issue of the Padilla newspaper.

Except for some specific Pokémon, most of the Pokémon on the ranch have also entered this kind of retirement life, and their days are gradually returning to normal.

Naoki was sitting in the garden, while Gulden was lying beside him, basking in the sun leisurely, while Motorlizard was observing the butterflies flying around in the flowers not far away.

The flowers in the garden were blooming luxuriantly in the summer, and the refreshing pollen filled the air. After a while, the motorbike lizard ran out from the flowers, sneezing continuously.

Gu Leton glanced at it with a look of disgust.

Naoki couldn't help laughing at this scene. He patted his side and said with a smile, "Come over here!"

"Gaao!" The motorcycle lizard immediately ran over happily.

"Bask in the sun here for a while." Naoki touched its head.

The Motorcycle Lizard readily agreed: "Gaao~"

It didn't go anywhere. It sat obediently next to Naoki, smelling the fragrance of the flowers and enjoying the peaceful afternoon.

"call……"

Seeing that several Pokémon were taking a nap obediently, Naoki smiled slightly and then picked up the Padia Daily that Ivan had brought him in the morning.

Looking at the news about the cooperation between Blueberry Academy and Padilla Academy reported in the newspaper, Naoki suddenly remembered what Bai Leiya talked to him about last week about the disc Pokémon recorded in the Book of Vermilion.

Naoki had read the Book of Vermilion before, from Professor Olin in Area Zero, but he did not finish it at that time, and only read part of the content about the Paradox Pokémon.

After a brief thought, Naoki took out the Rotom phone from his pocket and bought a copy of "The Book of Vermilion" at the second-hand book market.

Coincidentally, the store was located next door to the Glass Bottle Market. Less than an hour after Naoki placed the order, a large electric petrel with a bag tied around its neck landed on the ranch with a book.

Naoki took the book from Daidian Haiyan, then sat on the recliner and carefully read the part he had not read.

At the beginning, there is an introduction to the author of this book.

“The author of this book, The Book of Vermilion, is Haizhe, and the photo was taken with his partner Motorcycle Lizard.

Haizhe is both a writer and a naturalist. He was selected as a member of the Area Zero Observation Team and participated in the exploration of the Padiya Crater. He wrote this book after returning. When observing Area Zero, Motor Lizard was responsible for carrying luggage and performed very well.

And below is a photo of Haizhe and his boss who funded the observation team to explore the Padia Pit.

"The president of the college and the author, Haizhe, the funds needed to observe the zero zone were funded by Padilla College. The data collected in the zero zone will be shared with the college, hoping that this will help the development of the college's educational cause.

Contribute to research and train future researchers."

"This photo was taken by the observation team at the site where they entered the crater. Fortunately, the weather was very good that day, allowing the observation team to set off smoothly."

"The huge pit in the deep of the photo extends to a very deep place, but due to the formation of clouds below, we can't see the bottom layer where the treasure legend came from. Next, the observation team will move to the bottom of the giant pit."

Naoki noticed that the book was also accompanied by black and white illustrations, which seemed to be taken by the observation team at the time with a camera, but some of them were still hand-drawn.

He then looked down.

"Inside the Padia Crater is a magical world called Area Zero, where there are never-before-seen terrains, never-before-seen plants, and never-before-seen Pokémon."

"In that place that is not suitable for human life, perhaps there is something unknown sleeping?"

"The second day of the investigation, the photo was taken by the observation team during a break. Please look carefully at the ground in the photo. There are mysterious symbols there. Was it written by someone who came here to explore for treasure during the Imperial Era? Or has it been there from the beginning? It looks like a pattern with some meaning."

"Inside Area Zero, follow the spiral cliffs around you and you'll be able to move downwards. There are plants and water sources there."

"Since ancient times, there have been rumors that in the deepest part of Area Zero there are treasures such as legendary fruit and precious minerals, and there are also rumors that there are guardians guarding these treasures."

"A sketch drawn by a member of the observation team. Surprisingly, the types of Pokémon in the upper layers of Area Zero seem to be the same as those outside the Pit."

"When we got to the lower levels, we started to hear cries we had never heard before. As the depth increased, some huge, ferocious creatures and small, cruel creatures that we couldn't even tell if they were Pokémon began to show their faces. Under their fierce attack, some members were fatally injured, so we decided to retreat temporarily."

"The following is a photo that was accidentally taken by one of the observation team members."

"It looks like a Pokémon called Donka, but judging by its size and the shape of its back, it's a completely different creature. Its fangs are really huge!"
