Capítulo 75: Evolution
The location that Deoxys was pointing to turned out to be much further away than Asher initially imagined, almost reaching the easternmost point of the African continent.
Even so, it didn't take long for them to reach their intended destination thanks to Rayquaza's speed. The first thing Asher noticed was a huge crater located right below where they were.
"A meteorite?"
Looking at the gigantic crater, shaped like a ravine, extending across almost the entire mountain range. Asher couldn't help but feel overwhelmed for a moment - as it was the first time he had glimpsed something of such magnitude, and that it wasn't caused by some super-powered being.
The most interesting thing of all was the fact that there were people living around the crater, Asher sighed deeply, a little amazed even, at the courage of the people below to live in such a place.
"@#$&, @#$& &$#@!"
Perhaps due to Rayquaza's imposing presence beside him, when Asher landed, people actually started to bow, it was hard to tell if it was out of fear or reverence.
"..."
After experiencing what happened with Baku, Asher decided to adopt a new tactic, when in a similar situation, taking advantage of his increased control over psionic energy, and the experiences of dealing with telepaths, Asher developed telepathic abilities on his own. , which would be very useful now - through a mental link, even if he couldn't understand the dialect of these people, he could still communicate with them.
"You're the ones who live here, aren't you?"
When they discovered that the Strange Man's voice was sounding directly in their heads, the tribe leaders showed great surprise, becoming much more respectful in their expressions.
"Bashenga... Jabari..."
Although the man could not communicate properly, body language combined with psychic waves allowed Asher to understand what the man meant.
"Well...Bashenga and Jabari, can you tell me where the star fell."
Asher, pointed to the mountain range, and got straight to the point - there's obviously nothing else in this place that would attract Deoxys.
However, after hearing Asher's words, the tribal leaders' expression changed, fear was visible, Asher could see through the frantic movements that the two were making, that they were trying to dissuade him from climbing the mountains.
"It's dangerous up there, are there beasts?"
After understanding the warning, Asher ended up showing a smile and then pointed at Rayquaza who was floating behind him - "Are the beasts up there fiercer than him?"
"Roar!"
As if cooperating with its master's words, the Rayquaza let out a powerful roar, which caused the two tribal leaders and the surrounding tribesmen to kneel to the ground.
"@#$&!"
As soon as the leaders of the two tribes recovered from the shock, they took Asher to the jungle, and showed him the way.
Soon after entering the jungle, Asher felt something watching them from the shadows!
"Roar!"
It was an enormous feline whose fur was completely black – A Black Panther, much larger than it should be.
After seeing the huge panther, which was over 2 meters tall, Asher noticed that the two tribal leaders were completely tense and whispering the name ''Bast'' - The Panther Goddess in Egyptian mythology, Asher knew that Egyptian culture influenced almost the entire African continent due to the existence of the Apocalypse, so the superstitiousness of tribal leaders was not surprising.
"Roar!"
Black Panther seemed to be a little scared of Rayquaza, who was flying alongside Asher, and as cornered cats tend to attack, Panther took up an attacking stance.
"Biii!"
However, at this moment, Celebi who was sleeping on Asher's shoulder, flew towards Panther.
"Roa..."
The Panther seemed to sense the hidden power and higher level of existence emanating from Celebi, strangely the panther could also feel a calming aura from the small creature, which made it leave its attacking stance and become much more relaxed.
"Bii!"
Celebi got even closer to the panther and ended up sitting on the beast's back, seeing this scene Asher, couldn't help but think how cute it was, but the journey had to continue - "Let them lead the way."
Then the Panther began to walk ahead of the group, taking them through the mountain ranges, after some time of walking, they arrived at the deepest part of the forest, deep inside the mountains.
Before them was the lowest point of the crater that Asher had seen from the skies, and deep inside, a huge meteorite seemed to be embedded in the surrounding rocks, while faintly emitting a purple light.
"...@#$&£¢€¥!"
After seeing the meteorite, the tribal leaders knelt down showing great respect for the place - in the eyes of people at this time, meteorites were basically gifts from the gods.
"Deoxys, is that it?"
Asher gently stroked Deoxys, who was still in the symbiotic bond state, who immediately separated from his body, and then flew directly towards the meteorite.
"Buzz!"
Her forked arms turned into tentacles and slowly touched the meteorite, and then a few points of light emitted by the meteorite began to move, slowly towards Deoxys' body.
When the points of light were absorbed by Deoxys' body, Asher clearly saw that Deoxys began to emit a beautiful purple light.
"This is... Evolution?"
Asher finally understood why Deoxys was drawn here.
[The host's Pokémon ''Deoxys'' absorbs the special material ''Vibranium'', the effect of the special ability ''Evolution'' is activated].
[Deoxys obtains a new transformation - Bio-Metallic Form - Vibranium. Can be mixed with other shapeshifting abilities].
If what happened to Deoxys can be said to be a miracle, then the news from the system caused him a whirlwind of emotions.
"Vibranium?!"
Asher's voice showed exaggerated surprise.
Of course, he knew this material well - one of the rarest and most resistant metals in the entire Marvel Universe, almost indestructible, capable of absorbing and storing kinetic energy.
Its special molecular structure guaranteed versatility unmatched by any other metal on Earth. Captain America's iconic shield is a good example of the use and power of vibranium.
With the help of this shield, the Captain was able to face countless challenges and emerge victorious.
And the most critical question is...
Vibranium is extremely rare, with there being very few places on the planet where it can be found.
That's it...
"Meteorites... Vibranium... A Giant Black Panther..."
Looking at the tribal leaders who were still kneeling, Asher felt a little stupid for not being able to connect the dots until now.
"This place turns out to be Wakanda!"
Thinking about it better now, it was quite obvious - The crash site of a bright meteor, in Africa, protected by a Black Panther, if it weren't Wakanda, what else would it be?
It's surprising to think that this place will become the strongest and most advanced country on Earth in the future. Even though Asher's memories were vague, he still remembered some scenes from Wakanda, it was very interesting to imagine how the most powerful nation on earth, at this time, was still in its primitive stage.
"This appears to be Black Panther's ancestor...the other..."
Looking at the two leaders, Asher felt a bit of a coincidence.
However, this moment of reflection didn't last long, Asher turned his focus to something more important.
"Deoxys, Symbiotic Bond."
Hearing his master's order, Deoxys began the ability by attaching himself to Asher's body.
Unlike its previous form, Deoxys' current form after absorbing the vibranium changed significantly.
The new symbiotic suit featured a metallic purple glow overlaying the original colors, with a metal-like shine, while the overall shape of the suit took on a much more futuristic form.
Overall, the new form looked much more like armor than the previous one.
"Boom!"
Asher decided to do a small test by striking his own body, which resulted in all the force of the impact being absorbed, and when it was released, it ended up destroying a part of the slope next to the meteorite.
Realizing that in addition to resistance, the new form also inherited the special characteristics of vibranium, Asher couldn't help but comment - "Incredible... Very powerful!"
