Chapter 216: Dealing with the Situation
In reality, Deoxys's suspicions were not off the mark. Among the five individuals present, aside from Yuga, the transmigrator, the other four were completely ignorant of Deoxys's true identity.
However, the overwhelming aura emanating from Deoxys clearly conveyed its immense power. This was the reason they hesitated to take action.
Creatures like Deoxys, mysterious Pokémon from the cosmos, had no concrete records in the world of Pokémon. Only some vague descriptions existed in certain texts, so it was normal for others to be unaware.
"So, how do you intend to handle this meteorite?" Yuga asked after hearing Deoxys's account.
"I don't know," Deoxys shook its head.
"But if this continues, not only the Pokémon of the Mount Coronet but also human will gradually be affected," Yuga urgently expressed.
A significant portion of the Sinnoh region was bisected by the Mount Coronet. If the magnetic field's impact rendered the area impassable, did that mean people from both sides would cease to interact?
"But now, I am also powerless. The magnetic field produced by the meteorite is currently so potent that relocating it to another location would still impact the local magnetic fields," Deoxys's face was etched with frustration.
"Are you saying that this meteorite would be perilous no matter where it's placed?" Yuga inquired.
"Yes," Deoxys nodded.
Yuga was left flabbergasted. What could be done now?
Was there no place to isolate from the external world? Pondering over this, Yuga suddenly realized there might indeed be a solution.
At this moment, Yuga thought of his own system backpack. However, he wasn't certain whether it would work.
"System, if I place this meteorite into the system backpack, can you isolate its effects?" Yuga mentally queried the system.
Just as Yuga had this thought, he realized he was currently linked mentally with Deoxys. Could Deoxys potentially read his thoughts and discover the existence of the system?
[ No problem. The system backpack can achieve that. ] echoed the familiar voice of the system in Yuga's mind.
"Can we openly discuss like this? Won't Deoxys notice?" Yuga anxiously asked.
[ No, except for the host, there's no other entity in this world that can perceive the system. ]
Upon hearing the system's response, Yuga breathed a sigh of relief, surprised by the thoroughness of the system's security measures.
With the system's affirmation, Yuga conveyed to Deoxys, "I have a way to resolve the current situation, but I need to take this meteorite away."
"No problem, you can take the meteorite, but you must not damage it," Deoxys responded.
"No problem, I promise not to harm it in the slightest," Yuga readily agreed.
Deoxys nodded.
"However, I need a place where no one can see to take away the meteorite. Can you take me and the meteorite to a secluded location?" Yuga communicated to Deoxys.
In response to Yuga's request, Deoxys nodded. With a gentle gesture of its hand, a dimensional rift appeared in the air.
Before Yuga was taken into the dimensional rift by Deoxys, he turned back and called out to Flint, the others, and his Houndoom, "Don't worry about me. I'll be back soon."
Just as Yuga finished speaking, he and the meteorite were pulled into the dimensional rift.
When Yuga opened his eyes again, he found himself floating in a colorful expanse. The space was empty, vast, and boundless.
This was the dimensional space opened by Deoxys. Yuga marveled at the wonder of it all.
At this moment, Deoxys floated across from Yuga, with the meteorite also present.
"How do you plan to handle it? Hurry up and put it here; I'm feeling extremely uncomfortable with it nearby," Deoxys urged.
In truth, the magnetic field emitted by the meteorite was quite comfortable for Deoxys and even beneficial. However, due to its current excessive strength, the meteorite felt like poison, causing discomfort the closer Deoxys got to it.
Yuga nodded at Deoxys and then touched the meteorite with his hand. In an instant, the meteorite disappeared from Deoxys's dimensional space, reappearing in Yuga's system backpack.
Witnessing the enormous meteorite vanish before its eyes, even Deoxys, a Legendary Pokémon, was astonished.
"How did you manage that? Are you truly a human?" Deoxys curiously inquired.
Yuga smiled and replied, "I am indeed human, but this involves a personal secret of mine that I can't reveal."
"You're quite a remarkable human."
Deoxys didn't press further. Being a Legendary Pokémon, it was well aware of the wondrous abilities possessed by beings in this world, whether human or Pokémon.
"Regardless, I must thank you for this. If not for you, I wouldn't know what to do. I hope you'll take good care of that meteorite for me."
Yuga responded, "It's not just about helping you; it's a challenge that humans and other Pokémon must face together."
With the meteorite issue resolved, Deoxys guided Yuga out of its dimensional rift and gently placed him on the ground.
"With the meteorite matter settled, I've decided to explore various parts of this world. I look forward to the day we meet again."
"Take care, and I hope you have a pleasant journey."
Deoxys nodded.
Suddenly, Yuga thought of something and said to Deoxys, "I hope you won't fly too high in the future; the high altitude isn't very friendly to you."
Though Yuga's words were cryptic, Deoxys sensed the sincerity in his tone. It nodded and flew into the sky before disappearing from view.
In truth, Yuga was thinking about the history between Deoxys and Rayquaza.
When Deoxys descended into the world of Pokémon, it was slumbering within the meteorite. As a result, Rayquaza didn't detect it. Who knew if, in the future, when it entered the ozone layer again, it might once more become the target of Rayquaza's pursuit.
As Deoxys departed, the psychic barrier that had blocked Flint and the others finally disappeared. Houndoom rushed over swiftly and leaped into Yuga's arms.
Yuga held it close, gently stroking its back with his hand, comforting it, "I'm fine; you worried too much."
When he was taken away by Deoxys, Yuga had noticed Houndoom's concern. He was deeply moved by it and felt guilty for not considering Houndoom's feelings at that time. He had been so focused on his own fear that he hadn't thought about how it might affect Houndoom.
