Chapter 598 What a coincidence, I can negotiate with Pokémon
"Mr. Li Luochen, on behalf of the Green Ridge Universe Center, I would like to explain the current situation to you."
A researcher wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood up and gently swiped his finger across the holographic projection, magnifying the trajectory of a meteorite marked in red in front of everyone.
"A week ago, our deep space monitoring array detected an unusual meteorite in orbit outside the Hoenn region."
"Its diameter is about 15 to 20 meters, and its volume is not large, but its trajectory is significantly deviated from the normal orbit of celestial bodies."
"Simply put, it doesn't seem like an abandoned space rock; it's more like it's approaching Hoenn with a purpose."
"This is the energy spectrum analysis we conducted on the inside of the meteorite."
He swiped the screen again to bring up an energy analysis graph.
The purple curve representing superpower energy on the graph fluctuates violently, with peak values far exceeding the reading range of normal meteorites.
Li Luochen couldn't understand it.
"The results show that this meteorite contains extremely pure supernatural energy, with a purity and intensity that are unprecedented in all the celestial bodies we have monitored before."
"It is impossible for ordinary meteorites to contain such active attribute energy, let alone such a pure single attribute signal."
"We cannot currently explain why this energy exists in a solid form inside a meteorite, but what is certain is that it is not an ordinary natural celestial body."
The researcher paused here, took off his glasses to wipe them, and put them back on before continuing.
"What's even more challenging is its outer structure. Spectroscopic analysis shows that the meteorite's outer shell contains a special type of crystal that we've never seen before. This crystal is extremely resistant to most known forms of energy."
"In other words, ordinary attacks are unlikely to cause it any real damage. With the current conventional combat power of the Hoenn League, intercepting and destroying it in outer space would be extremely difficult."
He closed the report in his hand, glanced around the conference room, and finally fixed his gaze on Li Luochen.
"Simply put, we are facing a meteorite of unknown origin with a hard outer shell and extremely active internal energy reactions."
"It's flying towards the Hoenn region, and we haven't yet found an effective way to destroy it. That's all the information we have at the moment. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
"Of course, if you have any ideas, you can also tell us."
"I have another idea." Li Luochen leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the edge of the holographic projection. "Do you think it might actually be a Pokémon inside?"
"what?"
The researcher with the gold-rimmed glasses pushed up his glasses, his lips moved a few times, wanting to refute but unable to find a suitable theoretical basis.
The young researchers nearby looked at each other in bewilderment, their pens frozen in mid-air.
"Pokémon...?!"
A female researcher sitting in the corner broke the silence first, her voice filled with disbelief:
"You mean, there's a Pokémon residing inside that meteorite? That...that does explain the source of those psychic energies, but what kind of Pokémon could exist in the form of a meteorite?"
"And if this level of energy reaction were from a Pokémon, what level would it be—?"
As for what level, everyone already had their own ideas.
What Li Luochen said sounded very abstract, like something impossible.
But in fact, there are quite a few Pokémon in the Pokémon world that are related to space.
Rayquaza is a legendary Pokémon that lives in the ozone layer and feeds on meteorites year-round; Clefairy and Clefairy are widely believed to be Pokémon from outer space, and they gather on mountaintops to dance on the night of a full moon.
There are also small meteorites, moonstones, and sun rocks...
The origins of these Pokémon are all directly connected to the universe.
Theoretically speaking, it's not impossible that a legendary Pokémon from outer space might actually be residing inside a meteorite.
The researcher with the gold-rimmed glasses fell into deep thought. After a moment, he raised his head and said cautiously, "If Mr. Li's guess is correct, then we are not facing a meteorite, but a new species of legendary Pokémon that has never been recorded before."
"This means we need to reassess our strategy of destroying the meteorite. We might not be destroying a celestial body, but rather attacking the shell of a Pokémon."
There's a world of difference between destroying a meteorite and attacking a Pokémon's shell.
If it were just an ordinary space rock, things would be simpler.
Mobilizing firepower, destroying it remotely, and cleaning up the debris after it falls into the atmosphere—it's just a matter of writing a few reports at most.
But if a living Pokémon is hidden under that hard shell, the situation is completely different.
Attacking the shell means directly declaring war on that Pokémon, which happens to be a Psychic-type Pokémon and is likely on par with Rayquaza in strength.
If we act rashly and fail to subdue it in one blow, but instead enrage it, the consequences could be disastrous.
Not to mention, if its shell shatters and it becomes hostile towards the Hoenn region, no one dares to imagine the devastation a powerful, enraged Psychic-type Pokémon could cause in a few seconds...
"Everyone, there's no need to make that face. Things might not be as serious as they seem."
Li Luochen waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the tense faces in the conference room, his tone relaxed.
He straightened up from his chair, held up two fingers, and began to analyze slowly.
"First, those sent out as vanguards can't be that strong. If this is really some kind of exploratory advance force, then they are mostly scouts, not the main force."
"Scouts are characterized by their speed and stealth, but their direct combat ability is usually average. So the Pokémon we're facing may not be as terrifying as you imagine."
"Secondly, this is actually a good thing."
"Good news???" The female researcher almost jumped up from her chair.
A suppressed commotion arose in the conference room. Apart from Daigo, everyone else looked at Li Luochen with eyes that seemed to say, "Are you crazy?"
"Don't rush, let me finish." Li Luochen pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to calm down. "Think about it, if this meteorite really contains a Pokémon that has never been recorded before, wouldn't it be much better for it to come to us on its own than for us to search the whole world for it?"
"Now that it has revealed its location, we can prepare in advance instead of waiting for it to suddenly appear out of nowhere and catch us off guard."
"Moreover, if we can negotiate with it and successfully subdue it, wouldn't the meteorite crisis be resolved? Wouldn't that be a good thing?"
"You make it sound so simple. Who can negotiate with Pokémon?"
"What a coincidence, I can do it."
