Chapter 215: The Sorrows of the Legendary Pokémon
What's going on? Wasn't Deoxys about to crush me just now? Did I hear something just a moment ago? But it seems like I didn't hear anything at all! Yuga closed his eyes, waiting for a while, feeling a bit bewildered.
"Hello, human."
Once again, that sentence appeared in Yuga's mind. This time, Yuga was sure that he didn't actually hear anything, yet the meaning had somehow formed in his mind.
Is it Deoxys?
"Yes, it's me, human!"
Yuga was once again taken aback. Was Deoxys reading his thoughts?
"I mean no harm, human. I merely wish for you to leave this place."
This time, Yuga was certain that it was Deoxys he was conversing with. Slowly, he opened his eyes, finding Deoxys intently staring at him.
Seeing Yuga open his eyes, Deoxys nodded at him. Yuga got the sense that Deoxys probably didn't intend to harm him or the others.
"Why can you read my thoughts?" Yuga asked Deoxys within his mind.
"I cannot understand your language, and you cannot comprehend mine. Therefore, we have established a mental link to convey our meanings."
Yuga suddenly recalled that Deoxys was an extraterrestrial being from the cosmos. To the inhabitants of various continents, they were essentially aliens, just as incomprehensible to both humans and Pokémon alike.
"A mental link?" Yuga was puzzled. "I've only heard of telepathy."
"Telepathy? Perhaps it's the same thing; I don't know. Even though we have established a mental link, we still can't understand each other's languages. However, the meanings we wish to convey in our minds are accurately transmitted to the other."
"I see! But why do you want us to leave this place?" Yuga asked, intrigued.
"This meteorite is dangerous."
Then, Yuga noticed Deoxys pointing towards the meteorite at their feet.
Indeed, it was a meteorite. Yuga thought to himself, it seemed his previous speculation was correct.
"However, this meteorite has already had a significant impact on the Pokémon of the Mount Coronet! We can't just leave it as it is." Yuga conveyed his thoughts within his mind.
"I deeply apologize for this, but I'm afraid you won't be able to solve this problem."
Not able to solve it? Why? Yuga was puzzled.
"Do you know the origin of this meteorite?" Yuga inquired.
Deoxys nodded. "It was this meteorite that gave birth to me and brought me here."
Understanding Deoxys's message, Yuga was utterly astonished. He hadn't expected that this meteorite held such a significant history, that it had given birth to a Legendary Pokémon.
Then, Deoxys proceeded to recount the story of the meteorite to Yuga. Finally, Yuga understood the sequence of events that led to the meteorite affecting the magnetic field of the Mount Coronets.
As the meteorite descended from the cosmos into the Mount Coronets, Deoxys was slumbering within it. However, Deoxys didn't know how long it had remained dormant.
This extraterrestrial meteorite carried a potent magnetic field. But due to Deoxys's slumber, the magnetic forces within the meteorite were suppressed. As a result, for an extended period, the colossal meteorite had simply lain in the meteorite crater, dormant.
However, when Deoxys awakened, it left the interior of the meteorite, and consequently, the suppression of the meteorite's magnetic field disappeared.
The freshly awakened Deoxys found this world incredibly novel. In the vast cosmos, all it had seen was boundless darkness and constant loneliness. Seeing such a vibrant world now, how could it not be curious?
Busy exploring the new world, Deoxys didn't notice that the magnetic field generated by the "mother" that had birthed it was resonating with the unique magnetic field of the Mount Coronets. This resonance caused the meteorite's magnetic field to grow stronger.
Deoxys loved the new world, but it discovered that its language was incomprehensible to the local Pokémon. This left it deeply distressed.
However, before it could figure out how to resolve its dilemma, Deoxys noticed that the Pokémon of the Mount Coronets were experiencing anomalies, all caused by the meteorite that had given birth to it.
By this time, due to the resonance with the Mount Coronets' magnetic field, the meteorite's magnetic force had become so powerful that even Deoxys couldn't suppress it.
Deoxys had thought about placing the meteorite inside its own created dimension. Yet, it realized that the magnetic field produced by the meteorite could now affect it. Like with Yuga and his group, Deoxys also experienced dizziness and nausea when approaching the meteorite.
If it was uncomfortable just being near it, how could it live peacefully if it kept the meteorite in its own space? After pondering for a while, Deoxys couldn't find a good solution.
Destruction wasn't an option either, as Deoxys couldn't bring itself to do that. After all, this place was where it was conceived, and it was a part of Deoxys.
If left unattended, the magnetic field here would only grow stronger, and there would come a point where it would become uncontrollable.
Ultimately, it found itself trapped in endless distress.
Deoxys cared deeply for the Pokémon of the Mount Coronets, fearing that they might be harmed by the meteorite. It had no choice but to drive them all away. This was the reason why Yuga and his group had ventured deep into the Mount Coronets but had encountered very few Pokémon.
However, the magnetic field had a special attraction for Electric-type Pokémon. No matter how hard Deoxys tried to shoo them away, they refused to leave, even though they seemed to be suffering.
In addition to Electric-type Pokémon, those like Nosepass, which naturally had a sensitivity to magnetism, were also greatly affected. Due to the excessive magnetic force, their brains couldn't handle it, causing them to go into a state of mental confusion and even rebellion.
Not only that, a considerable number of Magneton evolved under the influence of this magnetic field. Evolution was generally beneficial, but it wasn't ideal when occurring under a state of mental confusion.
Those disrupted railway tracks were destroyed by the mentally disturbed Probopass. After evolving, they gained a Steel type, which gave them a special affinity for iron tracks.
As the cause of the Probopass's rebellion originated from their mental state, attempts by trainers to put them to sleep using Hypnosis would inevitably fail.
When Yuga and the others arrived here earlier, Deoxys worried that they might face a mishap, prompting its appearance.
However, due to their inability to communicate in the same language, neither side understood each other's intentions.
Deoxys had established a mental link with Yuga primarily because he was the first person to communicate with it. Additionally, Yuga seemed to have some understanding of Deoxys's identity.
