Southwest of the Hoenn mainland, deep in the mountains near Lavaridge Town.
This is the remnant of Mt. Chimney, not far from Meteor Falls.
Sitting in the helicopter, Natsui nodded and looked out the window. Originally, after challenging the Lavaridge Gym, he had planned not to come here again. But unexpectedly, after such a short time, he stepped onto this continuous mountain range again.
Truly, things in the world are impermanent.
He still remembered catching Beldum here. Not only did he encounter Professor Cozmo, who was kidnapped by Team Magma and Team Aqua, but he also met Zinnia, one of the Draconids, while escaping.
Thinking about it now, everything seems to have just happened yesterday.
Flying for a while longer, as the altitude decreased continuously, the helicopter landed on a flat ground.
The person sitting in the co-pilot seat turned back to look at Natsui and shouted loudly to him, "The magnetic field influence ahead is very serious; we cannot continue forward. You have to walk from here. We have other team members who have established an observation point ahead. Following this small path under your feet, you can go there first to rendezvous with them!"
Nodding, Natsui and Misty organized their equipment, then jumped off the helicopter and proceeded in the direction indicated by that person.
Behind the two, the helicopter took off again. As the roar gradually faded away, it soon disappeared into the horizon.
Without the deafening sound of the propeller, the ears of the two finally quieted down. Their ears, tortured by noise all the way, also got a rest at this moment.
Compared to the bare main mountain range of Mt. Chimney, this place is obviously much greener.
Not only can large patches of trees be seen on the mountain, but the ground is also covered with green grass, and wild Pokémon occasionally appear around.
Following the small path, not far away, Natsui saw several simple tents from a distance. Outside the tents, several men wearing Devon Corporation security uniforms were on guard there.
This should be that observation point and the personnel left behind.
Natsui and Misty walked forward. One of the men dressed as a captain saw them and hurriedly greeted them.
"Are you Mr. Natsui and Miss Misty?" He asked knowingly. In fact, he had just received the news that Natsui and Misty were coming, and the headquarters also sent photos of the two at the same time.
Therefore, he also knew clearly that the man in front of him was not ordinary, possessing strength absolutely superior to them!
Seeing Natsui nod, the captain said directly, "That meteorite is at the bottom of a small lake not far ahead. Do you need us to take you there?"
"No need." Natsui shook his head. "There may be a battle next, so just leave things to us. You just wait for me to contact you, and then transport the meteorite away."
"I understand. I wish you all the best. It's just that that Deoxys is really too strong and has injured many of us. Please be careful."
Leaving the observation point, Natsui and Misty advanced toward the small lake mentioned by the captain.
Walking here, the two obviously felt that the surrounding atmosphere was a bit wrong.
Everything was too quiet.
Before the observation point, they could still see wild Pokémon, but here, let alone traces of Pokémon, they couldn't even hear their voices at all.
Rarely, Gengar took the initiative to drill out of Natsui's shadow.
During this time, it was addicted to manga and would only show up occasionally during meals every day. To be honest, Natsui hadn't communicated with it properly for a long time.
At this time, Gengar still held a manga in its hand, but its attention was not on the manga. Instead, it frowned and looked around, surprised: "Something is wrong here; it makes me feel uncomfortable all over."
"It should be the magnetic field." Natsui said without thinking. "Deoxys and its meteorite both have the ability to change magnetic fields. Otherwise, Mr. Stone wouldn't have gone to such great lengths and asked me to help."
Looking up into the distance, a clear lake lay quietly among several forests, looking unremarkable.
Gengar stared there for a long time. "Then you be careful. I can feel there is indeed a powerful force ahead. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be that Deoxys. I have only felt this kind of feeling on two Pokémon before..."
"Oh?" Natsui turned to look at it. "Who?"
"Mewtwo and Ho-Oh!"
Mewtwo and Ho-Oh?
Misty widened her eyes, saying in disbelief, "That Deoxys has such strong power?"
Gengar shook its head. "Not just power, but the feeling it gives people. This is more or less related to the magnetic field mentioned just now!"
Natsui didn't make a sound, also estimating in his heart.
Actually, the power of this Pokémon can be seen from the movie. It is a Pokémon that once forced Rayquaza, the ultimate form of Caterpie (joke), into a disadvantage in battle. How weak can it be?
Not only does it possess four forms: Normal, Attack, Defense, and Speed, which can be switched at will to burst out powerful strength, but it also possesses super high IQ, can change the surrounding magnetic field, can fly, can enter the sea, and even has the ability of super-fast regeneration. It can be said to be ridiculously strong.
Ordinary Pokémon fighting against it would be completely like hitting a stone with an egg.
This is why Natsui adjusted his lineup before setting off.
As they got closer and closer to that small lake, out of caution, Natsui released Gardevoir. With the protection of Gengar and Gardevoir, at least the safety of the two was guaranteed.
However, unexpectedly, the two arrived at the lake very smoothly without being attacked at all.
Taking out the phone to look, sure enough, not only was there no signal, but even the battery was dropping rapidly, with only 17% left.
Taking out the communication equipment given to them by Kuroda again, unknown what material it was made of, although it was also affected to a certain extent, intermittent communication was still no problem.
Misty looked left and right and whispered, "What should we do next?"
Looking at her nervous appearance, she seemed afraid that Deoxys would suddenly pop out from somewhere to attack them at any time!
"According to Kuroda's words, that meteorite fell into this lake. I think Deoxys should also be hiding here."
Misty looked up. Indeed, just as Natsui said, fragments of some ships or planes could occasionally be seen floating on the lake surface. These should be the wreckage of the respective equipment destroyed in the previous battle to seize the meteorite by the people of Devon Corporation.
What a tragic battle this was; it could be described as total annihilation.
"How do you want to lure it out?"
"Lure?" Natsui shook his head and took out a Poké Ball from his waist bag. "I plan to force it out!"
Speaking of this, he aimed the Poké Ball at the lake surface and shouted, "Come out, Gyarados!!"
With a flash of blue light, a huge Red Gyarados appeared on the water surface!
That's right, for this operation, Natsui also took out his bottom-of-the-box Pokémon. Especially after hearing Kuroda say that the meteorite fell into the water, knowing there would be a water battle, he specially contacted Koharu to transfer his Red Gyarados over.
Of course, besides the Red Gyarados, he had other Pokémon participating in the battle, but there was no need to take them out yet.
Looking at this terrifying giant Pokémon, although knowing it was Brother Natsui's Pokémon and completely obeyed his orders, Misty still couldn't help feeling a burst of fear in her heart.
Mainly because it was really too big...
Natsui didn't have time to take care of Misty's emotions now. Looking at the Red Gyarados's red eyes, he waved his right hand downward.
"Do what you do best. Stir up this lake and force that guy out!"
Hearing Natsui's command, the Red Gyarados roared to the sky, then its huge head dived fiercely downward, swimming into the lake water.
With its movement, the lake surface also began to ripple with huge waves. At first, these waves were just regular ripples, but as the Red Gyarados constantly stirred underwater, they soon turned into irregular churning!
Under such power, no creature under the lake could be spared; all were affected.
Under the gaze of the two, they saw a red light suddenly flash under the lake surface, followed by a second, a third. Immediately, a huge water wave suddenly exploded. An orange-red humanoid Pokémon flew out of the water first. Below it, the Red Gyarados's bloody mouth followed closely behind, biting at that Pokémon!
However, because the speed of that humanoid Pokémon was really too fast, the Red Gyarados's big mouth bit empty air.
"This is..."
Misty hurriedly took out her Pokédex and aimed it at it.
Pokédex: "Beep. Deoxys, the DNA Pokémon. Psychic type. Other data unknown..."
Sure enough, it's that Deoxys!
Looking closely, just as understood before, Deoxys looked like a Pokémon not from Earth at a glance, very much like an alien creature. Its body was mainly orange-red, its two hands were like DNA sequences, its face was blue-green, like wearing a mask. Its rectangular black eye sockets had white circular eyes, and there was a crystalline organ in its chest cavity, with a round gem-like core embedded in it.
How to say it... Deoxys's first impression on Misty indeed made her feel very scared and creeped out.
Just like those high-level civilization hunters in sci-fi movies who disregard life and feed on humans!
She turned to look at Natsui, wanting to say something, but saw a kind of excited light flashing in Natsui's eyes...
Seeing Deoxys appear, Natsui touched his waist bag again. The next second, three Ultra Balls were already held in his hand.
Throwing them high into the air, he shouted loudly at the same time: "Come out, my Pokémon!"
One red, one blue, one yellow—three large bird Pokémon appeared high in the sky in an instant!
Needless to say, these three bird Pokémon were precisely Natsui's Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos!
Just as Natsui said, to deal with this Deoxys, he revealed his initial trump cards. And these three Legendary Birds, like the Red Gyarados retrieved from Koharu, were also retrieved from Sabrina by contacting her before setting off!
As soon as the Legendary Birds appeared, they circled in the air like a ring.
As Legendary Pokémon, when they were transferred by the machine and returned to their trainer's hands, they had already perceived it from the Ultra Balls and understood the purpose of this trip.
Now seeing that Pokémon in the air that they had never seen before, they immediately realized that it should be the target this time!
Although meeting for the first time, they had already felt the powerful force emitted by Deoxys, making them instantly high in fighting spirit!
On the ground, looking at the three familiar figures in the air, Natsui breathed a long sigh of relief and also felt the long-lost feeling of boiling blood!
His gaze narrowed, he looked at Deoxys again and ordered, "Fly! Dance! Let's defeat it!"
With a wave of his hand, the three Legendary Birds cried out in unison, then turned their direction and rushed toward Deoxys!
Zapdos shot out lightning.
Moltres breathed fire.
Articuno used Ice Beam.
Attacks of three different attributes, from three angles, containing powerful power, shot toward Deoxys!
Deoxys stopped in mid-air. Those indifferent eyes stared at these three Pokémon with ill intentions. From their magnetic fields, it also felt the difference from ordinary Pokémon.
But that was all.
Its hands protected its chest. A spherical barrier formed instantly around it, easily blocking these three attacks!
This wasn't over yet. Its two DNA-like arms gathered in front of its chest. A huge energy ball formed and hit Moltres flying in the middle at extremely fast speed!
Moltres didn't even have time to dodge and was directly hit by the energy ball!
Bang!
Explosion and strong light occurred. Fortunately, Moltres was also strong enough. Although injured, it withstood this hit.
However, this also completely angered Moltres. As a Fire-type Pokémon, the raging fighting spirit in its heart made it completely fearless. It broke away from the team directly, used Agility, its body accelerated instantly, extended its sharp claws, and pounced straight at Deoxys!
At the same time, Articuno and Zapdos also supported from the side, launching cover attacks.
Deoxys was unhurried. First, it used the barrier to block the moves of the two Pokémon. Then its body changed form, switching from the original Normal Forme to Attack Forme. Its arms also changed from two to four. At the moment Moltres approached, it dodged easily with a flash, and like a whip, lashed onto Moltres's body!
Moltres was injured again.
It was just a short exchange, but anyone could see that Deoxys's strength was indeed superior to any single Legendary Bird.
But Natsui released the three Legendary Birds at the same time, not to let them fight Deoxys one by one!
Because the distance was too far, Natsui issued an order to the Legendary Birds through Gardevoir's telepathy.
"Don't tangle with it, use the Trinity Attack!"
As a combination move of three Legendary Pokémon, its damage is unquestionable.
After the order was issued, the three Legendary Birds didn't hesitate either. They flew higher into the sky one after another, starting to circle in large loops and spiral upward.
Feeling a trace of coolness coming.
Misty looked up and saw the sky turn black instantly.
Dark clouds coming from nowhere covered most of the sky in an instant, thick as the bottom of a black pot.
Her bangs swayed gently.
The wind is rising...
